Turkey Vulture
Cathartes aura
It's been two weeks since I saw my first Turkey Vulture of 2024, but a second one has now appeared over the forests of the Oak Ridges Moraine, in south Aurora. This is a bird that has expanded both its summer and winter ranges northward. It feeds mainly on carrion and refuse. It has a length of 25" (69 cm) and a wingspan of 69" (175 cm) and is noticeably smaller than a Bald Eagle. This sighting was on the west side of Yonge Street, opposite the Aurora Cemetery.
Please comment if you wish.

I guess they are keeping an eye on the cemetery!
