I'm wondering exactly what kind of bird this is? It's not a very attractive one to say the least!:) Thanks

I'll be darned, I thought it looked like a Vulture. There were 4 of them circling over me, maybe they were hoping I'd croke! Thanks

Let's see, you're in Detroit. They are probably waiting for the Tigers or Lions.

I think they have to be waiting for the tigers as the Lions were already picked pretty clean.

Nice picture of a necessary bird.

Nice shots! Looks a lot like what I've been seeing flying around here in central Illinois. Always see 3 or 4 of them at a time.
