This is a Turkey vulture. Blackish, Eagle-sized (wingspread 6 feet) birds seen soaring high in wide circles. Their naked heads are relatively smaller than those of hawks and eagles. Often incorrectly called buzzards. They are natures way of cleaning up as they eat dead animals, because of that they have no feathers on their head.
I was driving down an old country road and there on a gate post was this big beautiful bird! I was driving slow anyhow so I slowed to a stop and shot this through the car window opening.
I am using an Olympus E3 camera with a 70-300mm lens. ISO 500 125/sec f8
