The Turkey Vulture... not one of the prettiest bird species on planet Earth, but a species that plays a vital role as a scavenger. Vultures eat dead animals. That sounds gross, but it helps to stop the spread of disease as well as control feral animal populations.
Most people will only see this bird flying high in the air cruising within the hot thermals on a warm afternoon. They have been known to travel upwards to 200 miles a day in search of food using a highly developed keen sense of smell to guide them.
