Alt Challenge #2: 2024 Carrion Birds (from all Over)

Here is my second (alternative) challenge. Photos of any carrion bird (I'm including Vultures, Buzzards, Accipiters/Raptors (that eat Carrion), Ravens, Crows, Magpies). If I left off any Carrion eater, just post it and reference it.

My two Caveats again:
1) Must be a bird photographed in 2023/2024. From anywhere in the World.
2) Since this is a BC, the photographer should be a BC Resident.

Here we go! lol

OK, I'll play, here's a couple Northern Harrier shots from a dawn patrol along the West Dyke path in Richmond, BC, in late December 2023:

I was in Mexico last month and saw some new things:

Lesser Yellow-headed Vulture

Lots of good old Turkey Vultures around too:
