Friday afternoon (10/21) I photographed a turkey vulture circling?the Edmonds marsh as it was?flying northbound over town.? It?was overcast and all I got were silhouette shots.? At the time I thought it was some kind of hawk or possibly a juvenile bald eagle as I had never seen a turkey vulture in Edmonds.
?
I did not identify the bird?until I got home and lightened the photos on the computer.??The head appeared to be all gray, making it a first year?(July-November) juvie according to Sibley's.???
