Turkey Vulture Cruising Over Our Meadow

4 pictures above in notes! (one of them was one I took a while ago, it's clickable)

I was delighted that these birds flew close enough that I could get nice pictures with my 100mm lens!

This text is from another picture I posted of a Turkey Vulture:

Turkey Vultures are found all over North and South America, from Canada to the southern tip of Chile. They are scavengers and eat carrion exclusively, using their keen eyesight and sense of smell to find their prey. This bird has no ability to sing and call like other birds, and can only grunt or hiss! Turkey vultures raise a pair of chicks in the months between March and August depending on latitude (Here they raise babies between March and June).
