Turkey Vulture | Lordsburg, New Mexico | May, 2010

Posted in Birds, Birds of Prey, New Mexico, Vulture-Turkey

Turkey Vultures seem to love to turn their backs to the early morning sun and spread their wings, I assume to help them warm up after a chilly night. These birds find their food using a strongly developed sense of smell. At the end of summer they will migrate as far south as South America. |MC23-0177
