Records. Table 3.

Turkey vulture individuals were identified by size, shape, and color pattern ( Fig. 12). The body feathers were mostly brownish-black, but the flight feathers on the wings were silvery-gray underneath, contrasting with the darker wing linings. The head was small in proportion to the body and red in color with no feathers. This species also has a relatively short, hooked, ivory-colored beak. Its legs and feet are pink-skinned with white marks.
