The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to discover nature and learn more about one of nature’s scavengers, the turkey vulture.
Often called buzzards, vultures differ from other raptors.
They rarely hunt prey, and instead live primarily on dead animals.
Vultures are masters at soaring flight.
In fact, flying turkey vultures use only slightly more energy than when standing on the ground doing nothing.
Healthy adults weigh five to six pounds, with a wingspan around six feet.
Like the head of a wild turkey, the turkey vulture’s head is bald and red.
Turkey vultures are common statewide in summer, and they winter here in southern Missouri, the southern United States and central America.
