Turkey buzzard: one ugly bird

Several weeks ago while returning from Canada, I decided to take the Farm to Market Road from the border to the Copeland Road, then east to Highway 1, and then south to Highway 95. As I was traveling south on the gravel road, I noticed a small farm pond with several large black birds hovering over the area. In total, four were in the air and one was on a whitetail deer carcass.
