Joanne on Jan 07, 2014I'd say some type of vulture! I had a flock of over 75 of them one fall when they were flying south. They were perched in a large cottonwood tree for hours.Helpful Reply

Jo Goughnour Roof on Jan 07, 2014Yes, vultures. If you can see them closer you will notice they do not have feathers on their necks. Crinkly skin instead. I am from Iowa and we have them here too. I think they live all over the U.S.Helpful Reply

Bingle on Jan 07, 2014they are way too small to be turkey vultures. there are also too many. although turkey vultures travel in groups it's of 5-10, not that many. Without a closer picture I would guess starlings. not a single person in the world can positively identify any bird from this far away. Post a close up picture and we can offer more help.Helpful Reply

Carrie on Jan 07, 2014Most people are saying turkey vultures. I wish I could get a closer look at them, it would be nice to think they could be starlings! Thank you for your response!Helpful Reply

Janis Hill on Jan 17, 2014If they have a red head then they are probably turkey vultures. They look too small to be starlings. I would go with blackbirds. And many birds survive in cold climates. I am in Massachusetts and birds cover my bird feeders everyday!Helpful Reply

Carolyn Conley on Dec 18, 2014We live in western Maryland in the country. We have these birds roosting, especially in dead trees on our property, and we have neighbors who also see these birds on their property, too. My husband calls these birds turkey buzzards. They feed on carrion (road kill or dead animals.) We had to call DNR to send a forest ranger to remove one that became tangled up and caught in an evergreen tree near our house and he also called it a turkey buzzard. Hope this helps.Helpful Reply
