A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habita t<br />

Suitabil t ty Index (HSI) model for the <strong>eastern</strong> <strong>wild</strong> <strong>turkey</strong> U~el eagris gallopavo<br />

sylvestris). The model consol idates <strong>habitat</strong> use information into a framework<br />

appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an <strong>index</strong> between 0.0<br />

(unsuitable <strong>habitat</strong>) and 1.0 (optimum <strong>habitat</strong>). HSI <strong>models</strong> are designed to be used<br />

with Habitat Evaluation Procedures previously developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife<br />

Service.<br />
