Turkey Vulture

Cathartes aura

Habitat:

Turkey Vultures are common around open areas such as roadsides, suburbs, farm fields, countryside, and food sources such as landfills, trash heaps, and construction sites. On sunny days, look for them aloft as early as 9 a.m.; in colder weather and at night they roost on poles, towers, dead trees, and fence posts.

Notes:

Turkey vultures flying over the beach dunes early this morning. They may have a face only a mother can love, but they are spectacular flyers.
