Turkey Vulture - spectacular on the wing!

Photos by BarrytheBirder

A couple of days ago, I included the photo above, in a blog I wrote on January 24th.   Someone then commented that the Turkey Vulture photo was the most impressive of all the photos I included in that blog.   I have to agree with the commentator's feelings about how impressive this bird can be 'on the wing'.   It's not a handsome bird.   After all, it is a vulture!   But on the wing, it is very impressive.   Below are a few other Turkey Vulture photos I have taken over the years.   As a matter of interest, the Turkey Vulture's wingspan is 72" (1.8 m) and it is approximately Eagle-sized!   It is a resident of the southern Canadian provinces from British Columbia, eastwards to southern Ontario.
