A lot more colorful and with much bigger bills than the turkey buzzard
... there look like formidable birds. Nice shots!

These are Ground Hornbills often referred to as "Turkey Buzzards" by
N. American tourists because of their resemblance to the Vulture
(Turkey) Buzzard. They are the largest of the hornbills, not
completely flightless, spending most of the time foraging for food on
the ground. They are quite scarce with a slow breeding rate (about 1
chick per year).
K7 - the one with the chick; K110D - the others. All with the FA 100-300.
