Description

This is of a pair of vultures. After closer looking, I am thinking these are Turkey Vultures, however, the head is quite dark. Also, this is the first vulture I have seen with white legs, which I googled and discovered that all vultures occasionally have white legs.

I haven't seen hawks in this area for awhile and I am wondering if it is the same as this one I saw yesterday in almost the same location:
