GrammaChar, Wow ... that is one posing Vulture in your first photo! Vultures aren't the prettiest bird on the block but still handsome in their own way and that is one great photo showing it with it's wings spread!
Do you suppose that deer they are feeding on was hit by a car? We have the Black Vultures and Turkey Vultures here and yes indeed, they do serve a much needed purpose of road-kill clean up!!
