Peregrines are tiny next to Turkey Vultures. Also the wing and tail shape and pattern is completely different.
That black and white pattern is a give away for turkey vulture. Also the head appears red, which is a vulture characteristic. Also, a peregrine doesn't have such long, differentiated "fingers."
How would you differentiate between a Peregrine Falcon. They all look the same in flight and from far away!!
Thnx ALice and Ava!! :))
