Editor's Note —
Turkey Vulture Identification, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Turkey_Vulture/id: Size & Shape. Turkey Vultures are large dark birds with long, broad wings. Bigger than other raptors except eagles and condors, they have long "fingers" at their wingtips and long tails that extend past their toe tips in flight. When soaring, Turkey Vultures hold their wings slightly raised, making a 'V' when seen head-on.
