If you ever want to see a large collection of turkey vultures, flock of 50 or more, try coming to the Miami Dade Courthouse at the start of spring....they hang out on top of the courthouse.

Vultures ... on a courthouse?
Aren't lawyers supposed to go in the front door?

That is Spring Break.

Just out of curiosity. . . I know (or at least I was told by a falconer at a ren fair) that hawks and falcons are differentiated by the type of prey they generally go after. . . Hawks mostly take their prey on the ground, rodents and the like, and they have longer legs which makes it easier for them to move around in tall grass on the ground; Falcons mostly hunt other birds and take them on the wing, and generally have longer wingspans for their size. So what differentiates eagles from hawks and falcons? Is it just size, or something else? Could the bird you saw have been an eagle morrowj?

I guess anything is possible....I know I was about 30 feet away when it landed. I was at least 24-30 inches high with mixed brown and white feather. It has a wide breast as well. I just wish I could have gotten a picture before it took off.
