I think this is a turkey vulture. I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it and its buddy were strolling in my yard one fine summer afternoon. And, BTW, I live in town.But, as most Central Ohioans know, we have some pretty cool birds. You can check some of them out on these free MetroPark programs at Blendon Woods in Westerville and Glacier Ridge in Plain City.
If birds aren't your thing, check out the other MetroParks programs on photography, kids' stuff, hiking, seniors' walks and tram rides, bats, creeking and more.

Indeed, that is a turkey vulture, aka a buzzard. For more about Ohio’s buzzards, see:

I thought that’s what it was. It looked like the picture in my book, but I wasn’t going to get too close.
