Please correct me if I'm wrong.....but I'm fairly certain that's a vulture.

Seems like an eagle to me. At least in North America, Bald eagles can be considerably larger than vultures. Oh and baldies are also carrion eaters.

Does the US have unusually small vultures? Mexican vultures are famous, and much larger than a bald eagle, but even here in Brazil our vultures are about the size of a bald eagle.
