The head looks vulture-like.  :dunno:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

maybe the real question shouldnt be what kind of bird, but, who would shoot it out of its roost?

I am leaning towards turkey.

The 'color' near the head is a leaf on the ground behind the bird.

It's really hard to tell from that picture. It's even difficult just judging the size. Are there any grouse in this area? Blue grouse maybe?

we have ruffeds and blues but in that bowl down there only ever see ruffeds.  bird in pic looks significantly larger than even a big blue to me.  damn grainy photo, low light, that magic time of day when pics are in color, but grainy and unclear.

Actually my first guess would have been just what you said- turkey vulture.

Blow the pic up and look at the feathers. Do tv's have barred feathers?
