Visitor

I think you could call him a "friendly visitor".  The neighbors had a stinky dead rabbit in their yard.  Mr. Vulture came to check it out.

Vulture tower

 This very tall cel tower was covered in vultures.  The one flying in is a turkey vulture, but there were black vultures as well. Birds of a feather flock together...?

Up on the roof

When this old world starts getting me down,

And people are just too much for me to face—

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space ...

I don't think this is what Carole King had in mind.  6 Black Vultures visited one morning.  Sat for a while,

And then moved on.

Three on a tree

First there was one Turkey Vulture on the tree, then two, and then three on the tree.  Makes you wonder who they were looking at.

Turkey Vulture

In flight, vultures are magnificent.  They soar above looking elegant.

When we first moved to Raleigh, there was a dead deer carcass in the backyard.  In the mornings a vulture would come and have breakfast.  He didn't look so elegant while chomping on the carcass.  We soon found out how to get rid of dead animals in Raleigh.
