Took this photo this morning. C&C welcomed and wanted!
The only PP I did was to resize the photo in Photoshop Elements.

Great shot, but I can't tell what it is for sure. Might just be the angle, but Turkey Vulture have a longer neck, I think. The slick head is the give away. Did you get to see the head? Still fun shooting!

Thank you Bruce. I only had a few seconds to get any shots of this bird. I did get a total of 8 shots. Here is another that shows the head a bit better, but the head looks rather short to me. I also cropped this photo a bit.

Definitely looks like a Turkey Vulture to me, you can kinda see the bald head in the second picture, with a slight red tinge. Turkey Vultures also have white beaks, whihc can pick up in your second pic.

Man, they are ugly birds, but I love watching them fly. really know what they are doing up there.
