Turkey Vulture
The turkey vulture (''Cathartes aura'') is the most widespread of the New World vultures. One of three species in the genus '' Cathartes'' of the family Cathartidae, the turkey vulture ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts.

Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
