While walking through the neighborhood this afternoon, we saw a soaring bird that did not look like an ordinary turkey vulture.  It was also going straight west, rather than circling like a vulture.  As it got closer, the distinct elbows of the wings allowed a positive ID.  In 22 years in the Akron area, this is the 3rd osprey I have spotted.
