Turkey Vulture, # 20/50

The top image was taken on Snake Road in the Everglades, and the bottom one was taken in Loxahatchee NWR.  Everything is beautiful :-)

Interesting Facts:
Large size, bare reddish head and silver gray and black under wings are diagnostic.  It soars in a broad V and seldom flaps its wings.  This is one of nature's sanitarians, feeding on carrion, especially roadkills.  At dawn, these birds spread their wings to absorb solar heat.
