The Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura), also known as the Turkey Buzzard, is a large bird of prey found throughout the Americas. It boasts a wingspan of about 160-183 cm (63-72 inches) and a body length of 62-81 cm (24-32 inches). Distinguished by its dark brown to black plumage and a strikingly bare, red head that resembles a turkey, this vulture is easily recognizable.
The Turkey Vulture is primarily a scavenger, feeding almost exclusively on carrion, which it locates using its exceptional sense of smell-a rare trait among birds. While soaring, it holds its wings in a distinctive V-shape and rocks side-to-side in flight.
Adapted to a variety of environments, including forests, deserts, and grasslands, the Turkey Vulture plays a crucial ecological role in cleaning up dead animals, thereby controlling disease spread. It is protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act in the United States, reflecting its importance in maintaining ecological balance.
