Turkey Vulture

I'm at Charleston Lake, Ontario (near Brockville)

Walking on our cottage road in August, I saw a large black bird with a red head, picking at some "road kill".

As I got closer, I realize just how large it was and different looking than the normal black birds and ravens we see often here.

When it flew away it had a huge wing span. I looked it up on Google and can only assume it was a Turkey Vulture.

I didn't know they lived around here!
