mom'sfolly :
You've got pictures of two different kinds of birds there. If you look at the wing angles and shading you can tell. I would say you have an immature bald eagle (white feathers come in around 3-5 years) or a golden eagle. I actually think it looks more like a golden, immature balds looks mostly dark brown or black, and a golden is a lighter brown with even lighter shading.
The second picture is definitely a turkey vulture. The others look like a golden eagle. It is absolutely not an osprey. Osprey from below tend to look very gull-like with very pointed wings.
Living near a river, and this time of year you could have lots of different kinds of birds passing through.
would a turkey vulture be flying with Eagles? because i took the pics when they(all 3 ) were all flying together..circling above. i zoomed in some of the pics to get a better view...it may have distorted it some?
