About a dozen years ago here at the sanctuary, we had a turkey vulture family raise four babies in one of the back pastures.

Why are they called turkey vultures. I've never mistaken one for an actual turkey.

I believe it's because they have a red head similar to the color of a turkey.

They are big though! I like watching them fly.

It really gets things all fired up here when they're riding the thermals over the house. The Guineas want nothing to do with them.

Yes, I think all the birds here read them as big hawks.
