Description

On Oct. 4, 2014 we found that a wild rabbit had been hit by a car and eight turkey buzzards were circling and a few were working on the carcass. Later a Red Tailed Hawk and several crows joined the ruckus.

Turkey Vultures are large dark birds with long, broad wings. Bigger than other raptors except eagles and condors, they have long "fingers" at their wingtips and long tails that extend past their toe tips in flight. When soaring, Turkey Vultures hold their wings slightly raised, making a ‘V’ when seen head-on.

Turkey Vultures appear black from a distance but up close are dark brown with a featherless red head and pale bill. While most of their body and fore-wing are dark, the undersides of the flight feathers (along the trailing edge and wingtips) are paler, giving a two-toned appearance.

Turkey Vultures are majestic but unsteady soarers. Their teetering flight with very few wingbeats is characteristic. Look for them gliding relatively low to the ground, sniffing for carrion, or else riding thermals up to higher vantage points. They may soar in small groups and roost in larger numbers. You may also see them on the ground in small groups, huddled around roadkill or dumpsters.
