A Face Only a Mother Could Love
The Turkey Vulture is by far one of the least attractive of our feathered friends. Found in most regions of both North and South America the Turkey Vulture, also referred to in some areas as Turkey Buzzard or Buzzard, are a large bird reaching up two and half feet tall with a wing span of six feet. Although very common the Turkey Vulture is a fascinating creature to watch and photograph as they ride the thermals using their keen sense of smell and eye sight to locate the decaying carcass of their next feast.

Despite their less-than-stellar rep, I’m a fan of these birds. An impressive wingspan. Fun to watch them in the evening returning to a favourite roosting tree … ditto the next morn when they are sky-bound again.
I love watching them when they have their wings spread out sunning themselves
