Scavenger bird. Non-solitary. About the size of a small turkey.
Marsh/Swamp area. Marshes surrounding filled with alligators, herons, fish, etc.
Interesting, because in my part of Florida, I only see black vultures!
Lovely photos of an under-appreciated bird. Welcome to Project Noah, Christina. Looking forward to your future spottings.
Christina, you should be proud! These are beautiful clear shots! Love the turkey vultures and love these shots!
The second most popular species in Florida after Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus).
