beetigerAnyone know what kind of bird this is? It's huge! Two of them were courting on the neighbors' lawn for about 5 minutes before projectmothra moved a bit too quickly while we were watching them. The one in the pic is doing this wing display while the other one circled it. That's a standard swingset in the foreground for size reference. When they took off, they did a smooth, long, low glide before I lost track of them among the trees.
Thanks for any ID help.
ETA Apparently they were turkey vultures. I was confused because it looked like a turkey and flew like a vulture. :)Thanks, all!
