The Turkey Vulture is the master at soaring flight. It is often seen near other Turkey Vultures, gliding unsteadily in a thermal searching for the scent of something dead. They are most often seen in the country side and suburbs ready to clean up the spoils of another animal. On sunny mornings, they may be seen perched near other TVs, wings spread, soaking up the morning warmth. This illustration has the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory name below the image.
