I took these pictures this morning of a group of birds perched in the trees overlooking the river.

Those are wild turkeys roosting.
I think they are too,YUMMY!!!!! send me one Jonco
I see no beards, even hens have small beards. I think they are either turkey vultures or black vultures. Great photos, if their heads were red they are turkey vultures…..
Turkeys, definitely turkeys … nice picture.
I think they’re turkeys, too…in the top picture, the bird on the left has a silhouette of a turkey (a vulture would be more vertical) and in the bottom picture, the turkey on the right has a little bit of a wattle.
My first thought was turkeys. But when I Googled vulture pictures they look a lot like this. My wife, daughter and grandson all think they’re turkeys so I changed the title.
Good eyes eyeball, the tail and neck do not resemble a turkey to me. I think we need to bring in an expert.
They don’t call him Eyeball for nothing.
Doesn’t look like turkey to me. From the shape of their heads and their overall profile it looks more like grouse.
Then again, I’m a city boy, born and bred, so I may be talking arse magic.
Legs are wrong for vultures. I also vote turkey
Looks like wild turkeys to me, even in the bottom picture the body looks like a turkey.I vote turkey.
They do look similar to the Buzzards we have around here in central Texas, but I think it’s only because the head on both species is red. Our buzzards are known as Turkey Vultures because of that, but are very different.
I know they have a wide habitat, I’m pretty sure it’s the same type of buzzard there too.
Beaks don’t look like vulture beaks.
Wild turkeys or possibly some type of pheasant
Grouse maybe but I don’t think they are common in your area. Think they live farther north.
The only Wild Turkey that I care about comes in a bottle and goes down smooth…
You are what you drink. That used to be my drink of choice also.
Change it back to vultures, the neck is not right. If not, I will have to tell my wife we’ve been eating Vulture on Thanksgiving for the past nine years……
Change it to Turvulouse!
hmmmmmmm… tuuurrrkey…
OK, the jury is in and I admit I was defeated. De feet look more like talons to me……don’t mention this to my wife, thanks….
If turkeys and vultures are so hard to tell apart, why don’t we eat/hunt/raise vultures?
They have a total protein (e before i) diet.
Vultures are protected animals, believe it or not.
I believe those are partridges in a pear tree.
LOL
Scott, it could be turtle doves. My original thought after viewing the pics were humming birds, but we all know they are now in South America on vacation…….
Christmas is coming, Jonco’s goose is getting rotund. Please put a twenty in the old man’s beer fund. ♬
Good idea Scott……
I vote chicken.
With your 11 herbs and spices, mmmmm!
Turkeys climb’n trees Ya sure What’s next turkeys that can fly if you drop them from a helicopter?
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!
Turducken.
And in the greatest of ironies we discover them to be turkey vultures.
Turkey ..
… Turkey Vulture .. 
.. Turkeys (like the ones in Joncos pictures) have longer necks
Observr, you have to upload your pic to the web and link it from there.
Posture is all turkey. I lightened up the image and tweaked colors and I see turkey patterning too, vultures would be flat black.
