I have a question about turkey vultures you may know the answer to. They've been circling near us lately. When they get near the house, I can see the red head and white wing feathers. Some of them are a bit larger and don't have red heads or white wing feathers. Do turkey vultures and golden eagles fly together?

I am really scared when I see one of these turkey vultures. I have to look away. God knows what is going on when they land. They are huge

They really are scary looking :) I'm more afraid of the smaller black vultures though. Black vultures don't always wait for an animal to die before they chow down :( Last week I watched ten of them take apart an armadillo :(

Behind you
I recorded her. No one would believe that it was not me talking.
If the phone rang.. She would have the whole conversation with herself.. Now in a mans voice.
Alright, Ok Ok Goodbye. If she spotted a wine bottle, she would make the sound of a cork popping and then the guzzle of it going into the glass

If I sat outside with her, she would wolf whistle when someone walked by and say in a real sexy voice Hi there! very embarrassing. Of course they did not see her and thought it was me.

Yesterday, after I posted my question, I saw 12 to 14 turkey vultures circling. Five of them landed near enough to see that they were all about the same size but only two had red heads so now I'm guessing the ones with dark heads are juvenile turkey vultures. Last year I thought I had discovered a new species of bird - turned out to be a juvenile cormorant lol.
