I really owe this sighting to my Dad, who noticed that it looked different than a Turkey Vulture and alerted me to it's presence. When I got back from work and walked over to the spot, I found it just sitting on a post of the pasture fence, right next to a single Turkey Vulture, providing a great comparison. All dark vulture with black skin on its head, whitish legs and bill, and silvery primaries visible when preening and when it briefly flew because of a passing truck. After about 20 minutes of sitting on the post and preening, it took off with the Turkey Vulture and joined several others spiraling off to the NW. Last seen at about 10:59 soaring alone at extremely high altitude, still headed NW; after, I could literally not see it in my 10x binoculars anymore. *First Saline County record that I know of.
