Turkey Vulture

This carrion eating creature is one of the ugliest birds, in my humble opinion.

 

The Turkey vulture is commonly known as a buzzard.

He differs from the Black Vulture in that he has a red head and a longer tail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The turkey vulture has a wing span of 68-72 inches.
