Birds of Kentucky: 'Creature' was turkey (not black) vulture



2017-06-09 - Charlie Morrison Road, Chance, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c).
Updated June 10, 2017: Up close and personal, the big bird turned out to be one of the usual suspects, a black turkey vulture, entertaining in its horaltic pose. Billy Joe Fudge and James Bost prompted more thorough research, and I agree with them now. It's a friendly, we-need-more-of-them turkey vulture. Black vultures appear totally black from a distance, but up close there is a bit of a red ring. Look close, too, at them beady eyes.. Black vultures are wreaking havoc with livestock, and are, birds of prey as well as scavengers. Turkey vultures just do their scavenger work.Paired photo
