The majority of Wyoming turkeys are the Merriam's subspecies, but Rio Grande turkeys have established in several cottonwood bottom lands as a result of transplants from Oklahoma. In some parts of the state, Merriam's and Rio Grande turkeys have hybridized. Easterns are not known to exist in Wyoming.
