Here are two more photos of the Turkey Vulture that was featured earlier this week. When I first spied this guy he was circling over my love life. Eventually, he settled down and perched in a nearby tree. After a better look, he decided that it was too dead for even him and flew off. JK
Great shots! That bird looks huge, like the size of a big raccoon!
Turkey Vultures can grow to be just slightly longer than a Raccoon, not counting the Raccoon’s tail. However, with a five foot wingspan, the Vulture can seem much larger. JK.
Was he bigger than Horace???
How long is Horace?
Either way, this bird did not have those silken ears. JK.
He’s an armful! A silken armful! 🙂 About a yard long.
This guy was not longer than Horace, but his wingspan certainly is. JK.
