We thought they were eagles at first. They arrived riding the thermals.
The point and shoot sort of failed here.
I glassed them with my 10 x 25's, and sure enough, bright red bald heads.

Sister asked if they were Turks, but I doubt it.
No fans or beards either.
I've never seen them before.
They seem to be a recent arrival as I have not heard anything about them being here.
Next burning question is what were they doing piled up on the shore-line like that?
Gads. It's all private property over there...

They showed up a lot later than usual this year, and not as many.

While quite graceful in flight, up close, there ain't much uglier than a buzzard. SW

They're waiting to achieve a quorum, then they will attack.

old navy might be right , but often attracted to something dead in that search for food , you can always tell them in flight the wing tips look like fingers grasping for air , they are quite graceful when soaring

not sure if i ever mentioned it - once a lifetime ago when fishing in canada we cut into the lea of an island to avoid a bit of wind and rain , must have been a dozen golden eagles on a deer carcass on the point , all at once they were flying right over us - about 10 feet above , that was a sight , a bit scary in that they were a lot bigger than they look at yards away than feet away , they are majestic when seen up close , much bigger than the bald eagles we het around here and those are big up close too
