Turkey Vulture with wings spread in the "horaltic pose" to maximize warming (and possibly killing of bacteria)
Several vultures have been hanging around on some dead tree branches on our property in the past few days (maybe a carcass is nearby that they are feasting on?). This one stayed on this branch for around an hour, just cleaning up and stretching in the sun.
North Peak, Cuyamaca Mountains, California.
