Our bird of the day: Turkey Vultures!
These are one BIG bird. Weighing up to five pounds (that's a lot, considering they can float around on thermal currents all day!) they are one of the largest bird of prey in this country. Their wingspan alone is nearly six feet! A keen sense of smell allows them to easily find carrion, such as the one in the below photograph has done.
These are just an all around cool bird. Check out the University of Michigan's animal diversity for more.
