This is a hard one! This bird is not native, but is very closely related to a native Michigan bird we all know. It is also harder by the cropping of the pic! Any ideas? Just putting it in the right family is a win! Hey, it's winter and I just thought a challenge was due!
2010-02-07 I added the "answers" through pics at different levels of cropping. It is a Cinereous Vulture at the Detroit Zoo in October.
I dropped in a few more vulture pics for fun!
