(Editors Note from Julie McCallum)
The Turkey Vulture is approximately 26-32" in size, with up to a 6 foot wing span, which this particular one definitely met or surpassed those dimensions. (At first glance, it looked like a horse - laying down in my back yard.) They feed on carrion, just about any dead animal of any size. In the top picture the vulture has its wings outstretched usually to catch sun.
