I have no idea what the proper name of these butt ugly vultures might be... we call them turkey buzzards.

Great flight shot. I think Scott's right, they're officially Turkey Vultures. Very common around here, along with the occasional Black Vulture. It's always just a little alarming to see a bunch of them start to circle overhead; makes me wonder if they know something I don't!

Hehe I think they are called Turkey Vultures. I like buzzard tho, it makes me think of Death Valley or some place like that. Nice catch!
