In my search for Bald Eagles, I found more of this type
of bald creature.
There is an important purpose to the Turkey Vulture's bald
head. When vultures eat carrion, they often stick there
head inside the carcass to reach the meat. A feathery head
would collect all the blood and guts of the vulture's meal,
along with all the bacteria it hosts. The turkey vulture
then perches in the heat of the sun to dry out the mess
around its head.
