While sitting on the back porch, a big shadow passes by. It is a buzzard in flight. By the time (quickly) I have my M50 with the 18-150mm lens in-hand, it has alighted on my neighbor's chimney. Attached are two photos.

Greatest! I understand that only Vultures may be found in N. America. Thanx for sharing.

Tim is correct, it's a Turkey Vulture. I call them buzzard, too, though. Nice set.

In other parts of the world buzzards are large hawklike raptors. In the US vultures are also sometimes called buzzards, especially turkey vultures.

Nice catch. Guess he found his next carcass.
