I can't get the first picture to load but the second one did for me and right off the top of my head I would say that is a Turkey Vulture.


Ok the first pic loaded now, just took forever, but I still stand by the Turkey Vulture.

It is definitely a turkey vulture! We have TONS around here. How neat is that that he is perched on your deck! COOL!
