The Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura), also known as the buzzard, is the most widespread of the North and South American vultures. Its common name comes from a bald red head and dark plumage which resembles that of a male wild turkey. The range of the turkey vulture is from southern Canada to the tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of habitats including forests, shrublands, pastures and deserts. The turkey vulture is a scavenger with a keen sense of smell and eyesight which enables it to find dead and decaying animals (carrion), its main source of food. In flight, they rely on thermals and need to flap their wings infrequently. The turkey vulture roosts in large communal groups and nests in hollow trees, caves and thickets. They usually raise two chicks a year which they feed through regurgitation. This vulture was photographed while flying over Campbell Mesa in the Coconino National Forest near Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.

They are long-lived and can live up to 40 years in captivity (less in the wild). Griffon vultures feed exclusively on the carcasses of large and mid-sized mammals, and never eat live prey. The griffon vulture is one of the largest bird species in the world, with a wingspan of 240 to 280 cm, a height of up to 110 cm, and a weight of 7 to 12 kg in adult birds
