The Turkey Vulture ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. A large bird, it has a wingspan of 160–183 cm. Turkey Vultures also known in some North American regions as the turkey buzzard (or just buzzard), eat carrion, which they find largely by their excellent sense of smell. They prefer freshly dead animals, but often have to wait for their meal to soften in order to pierce the skin. They are deft foragers, targeting the softest bits first and are even known to leave aside the scent glands of dead skunks. Unlike their Black Vulture relatives, Turkey Vultures almost never attack living prey. It has very few natural predators. In the United States, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
