bushden Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I do not remember ever having Turkey Vultures under the deer feeder before, I guess they are getting hungry I stopped deer hunting. The camera caught this on tail and wings full open PRETTY COOL PIC Edited January 24, 2021 by bushden BillW0323, Haskell_Hunter, hemlock and 8 others 10 1 HONOR THE FALLENhttps://thefallen.militarytimes.com/ Over the years the US has sent many of its fine young men & women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return, is enough to bury those that did not return. COLIN POWELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a smaller bird. I looked them up here is the text book description of the difference between the two.. The Turkey Vulture has a red head, while the Black Vulture has a black or dark gray head. ... When seen up close, the feathers of Black Vultures are a sooty black, while a Turkey Vulture's dark feathers also include dark brown. This plumage difference will be very helpful if the bird you are observing is immature.

archer36 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I had a Turkey Vulture land in a tree over me while I was gutting a deer. At first I thought it was a regular hen turkey but as I looked more closely it was a vulture. bushden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemlock Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Cool picture of the black vulture. Growing up in west milford as a kid everyone called them turkey buzzards or just buzzards. bushden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
