Turkey Vulture waiting by the waterfront at Grey Lodge Wildlife Area, California, USA

 

Also called Turkey buzzard, Turkey vultures are the only scavenger birds that can't kill their prey. Their feet are more like a chicken than a raptor.

They however have very strong beaks, which they use to tear into the flesh of the carrion.
