Bear in mind there have been massive habitat changes in the US. You can't just point to wild turkeys or any species of bird and say changes in their distribution is due to temperature at thats all. At one time, there were vast numbers of small 40 acre farms throughout the eastern US, each one with a family that heated their home with wood from their own wood lot, grazed their own cows and horses, raised their own grain. There wasn't a lot of forest land then. There were no wild turkeys, few deer, hawk and owl and foxes were suppressed to protect the farmers chicken flocks. Rabbits were plentiful and thats about it. As people moved to town and the number of farms shrank a lot of land went back to forest. My home county in IL has bluebirds now. Never saw a one growing up there. Now deer and turkeys are everywhere, deer come into town at night. A hundred years ago there were no deer except in the MS bottoms, no turkeys at all.
