Bird Id Part 2.5

[Lava Lamp]

I am not saying you are wrong about the black vulture ID, but take a look at PAGE 107 of that new book ;) Juvenile TV's look similiar to black vultures.

Boy, just when you think you have one down... ;)

Here's a close-up crop of one that I thought was a black vulture. It very well could be a juvenile turkey vulture. It was perhaps a little bigger than a black. I thought there were blacks circling around though: in addition to the grey vs. red head, the wing tips were different, and the top of the wings lacked the brown you see on turkeys.
