"Turkey Vultures are majestic but unsteady soarers. Their teetering flight with very few wingbeats is characteristic. Look for them gliding relatively low to the ground, sniffing for carrion, or else riding thermals up to higher vantage points. " - All About Birds (Cornell Lab of Ornithology)
This soaring Turkey Vulture was spotted at Whittier Narrows Nature Center.
