Ann: Great shots of the turkey vulture! They are the strangest looking birds aren't they? I agree, they are all over Florida; we see them alongside the road all the time and we also have tons of the american black vulture here in Fla. too which I see more often than the turkey. I took these photo's of black vultures earlier this year down in Merritt Island, there always seems to be large flocks of them at Haulover Canal for some reason. A lot of fishermen launch their boats there so I wonder if they perhaps throw scraps out when they return and maybe the vultures, like the Pelicans scavenge the fish parts.
I took this picture @ 4 years ago. There was a flock of black vultures in my neighbor's yard. I don't know what the road kill was that they were fighting over but they were really getting into loud squabbles over it with one group trying to steal the meal from the other. This photo only shows a few that were present; others were across the road and a bunch were in the trees.
