Wet Turkey Vulture

TURKEY VULTURE
Cathartes aura

Monday's rains were soaking this Turkey Vulture in a field nears Marsville, west of Orangeville.   Turkey Vultures are the size of eagles and it is hard for a bird of this size to get in out of the rain anywhere.   On the other hand, Turkey Vultures are usually only on the ground for one reason - to eat.   Staying dry is important, but staying full is a priority also.
