We had a storm today but between rain downpours I took this picture of our dogwood tree behind our house. Then these two strange looking birds showed up to feed on some road kill. We can't tell what they are. At first I thought they were turkeys. They were quite big and have about a 3 ft wingspan. When they walk they lift their feet up high. Every once in a while their necks looked like vultures. Do you know what they are? This picture isn't very clear because I had to walk carefully out to the road trying not to scare them. Just after I took this picture they stuck out their necks jumped off the fence and took off.

Your picture turned out good. Glad you were able to keep at least one dogwood! It's so pretty!

Wow - so there were two of those birds? You could maybe do an internet search and find a bird guide with pics etc.

Hello, So you're right saying turkey and vulture. Randy says they're a turkey vulture. We see those birds up here. Quite ugly birds. Poor things.
Pretty Dogwood. Ugly birds! :)
