Huge Mystery Birds in the trees in my yard, what are they....

[motoclown]

We live in Western Pennsylvania and today some large birds perched themselves in the trees above my yard.
I took the best picture I could get with my camera and zoomed in on the one.
They were pretty high up and flew well.
When the bird took off, It's tail feathers fanned out a little.
Any Ideas if they are chicken eaters or just huge happy birds?
Should I be worried, we will be putting our babies out in the next couple of weeks they are almost 5 weeks old.
And we are down to 3 ladies and one roo outside.

When you say huge, HOW huge?

Does not have a raptor's beak. Actually looks a lot like a dove. I do not think it a danger, but it is always wise to not take chances.

I'm going with a roosting turkey.

Just saw that you said it flew well. I'm not sure how well turkeys fly... But it doesnt have the head of any bird of prey that I've ever seen. Maybe a vulture??

Looks like a turkey to me.

Looks like a Turkey, but with a dove-like head.

Pretty sure that's a turkey

OK, I feel better now, I thought maybe a turkey.
It was way up in a tree, just didn't know how good they could fly.
thanks

It's a turkey, but the angle we see the head at makes it look a little strange.
