Bird ID - Southern Ontario

Ok no picture one of the only times I have never had it with me. Yesterday leaving the marina I saw`what appeared to be small/med sized dog turned out to be a bird.

It was huge, black or dark brown body with a bright red head and neck. Any ideas what kind of species?

Are there turkey vultures in Southern Ontario, Canada? That was my initial thought since it was mean looking and looked like it had a turkey head.

There certainly are turkey vultures all over in Southern ON.

Cool, wish I had my camera, man they are big.

Like this?
Not a great pic but it's a turkey vulture and they are big.

I'm sure it was like that. The eye was really noticeable, almost yellow like and the head really red. I think it was eating something. It looked the size of an adult eagle, maybe even bigger.

Was it a wild turkey? Lots of them in S. Ontario now as well.

Oh gees, I don't know maybe thats what it was. But it did have a bald head, it looked mean when it looked at me.
