Description
My daughter spotted this turkey vulture on the beach at Sheldon Marsh Nature reserve in Ohio. She was walking ahead of me and stopped suddenly, nearly crossing this large birds path and scaring it away. We tried our best to be quiet so I could get a few shots of this elusive fellow.
The turkey vulture also known as turkey buzzard or simply just buzzard is a widely spread species of vulture. Vultures are scavengers feeding almost exclusively on carrion (dead decaying flesh). This buzzard was eyeing up its next meal, a dead fish washed up on the sandy beach.
