CAPTION:
"ALSO KNOWN as the turkey buzzard, this is the most common vulture in North America. Turkey vultures eat almost anything. They often soar high over roads searching for animals that have been hit by cars. Turkey vultures normally search for food alone, but in the late afternoon they gather in large groups to roost in treetops and on rocky ledges."
