Turkeys at Shiloh

More than 330 vertebrate terrestrial species are documented to habitat the park; over half of these are birds, including wild turkey, wood duck, northern bobwhite, red-tailed hawk, an occasional bald eagle, and numerous songbirds like the wood thrush, field sparrow, Kentucky warbler, and Baltimore oriole. Mammals account for 55 known species, including white-tailed deer, red fox, raccoon, nine-banded armadillo, coyote, and the endangered Gray bat. In addition, at least 50 species of fish inhabit an intact aquatic eco-system on the plateau, and more than 50 species of reptiles and amphibians, plus hundreds of insects and other invertebrate species reside within park boundaries.
