Thanks Emily. This being a young bird probably explains why it let me get pretty close without flying away.
Oh, this looks like a young bird! They get their pink face and white beak around a year of age. This handsome devil still has a little bit of black on his beak! I adore turkey vultures! Great shot...again Tom!
Marcus, I think he was sad because I didn't feed him:-)
It looks so sad! Maybe it ate something rotten. Oh wait...
