The only turkey vulture that I've ever seen was sitting upon a deer carcass in the middle of my yard. When I called the town to ask them to remove the carcass, they suggested that the deer was merely sleeping in my yard until I told them about the turkey vulture. First time but there was no mistaking what it was.

Beautiful capture of the landing! Love the wings. V

Nice find, Carol...they are a very impressive bird.

They arrived in CT about a decade ago and seem to be year around here.

They photograph well from a distance with their flared wingtips. If you get close their faces aren't all that pretty. But then, they may think my face is pretty ugly.
