It was a rare sight to see these so close by. Usually the skies around here are dominated by herons and Ospreys. The turkey Vulture is a scavenger and what I mean by that it is an opportunistic bird. It usually waits for something to be killed by some other animal or means. They have a chariacteristic bald head void of any feathers as this keeps its head clean from any disease it might encounteras they ofetn feed on putrid flesh. It is also thought that the bald head also helps in their thermorugualtion of the body.
