After I saw what looked like a Common Raven in my yard, I sent an email for
help to confirm. I greatly appreciate all input and so I have researched
the Vultures. I kept feeling like I should just accept the opinion of you
more experienced, professional birders but the pics didn't portray what I
saw...?? My husband had left the house right after I saw the bird and
fortunately SAW IT!! By that time it was 2 miles north of where we live.
(Granted we live less than 10mi from Mi border) and he had a GREAT view of
it!!! It was still soaring and he was able to clarify that it did NOT have
a head of a Vulture but more of a crow but MUCH, MUCH bigger!! I just want
EVERYONE to know that I GREATLY APPRECIATE AND ADMIRE your assistance on
helping identify the bird. In our minds AT LEAST we feel it is definitely a
Common Raven.

Thanks to all who assisted me!!

I love birding!
