Field Notes

Description:

Found this guy with a group feasting on roadkill. At first glance, i would've guessed a Black Vulture, but since he was with a group of Turkey Vultures, it's probably just a premature one. I like this one, he was the only one out of four who was brave enough to stay as we drove by!
