Summary

[edit]
Description During a tour of the north rim of the Grand Canyon this juvenile Turkey Vulture repeatedly came in close to us. If you look at the tips of some of the tail feather and secondaries, you will see wisps of feather or down still adhering to the feather's shaft. Does anybody know if this is similar to the rectrices on Great Gray Owl juveniles that retain the juvenile down (mesoptile) adhered to the tips of tail feathers...
