Black vulture

This black vulture (Coragyps atratus) landed on this dead tree and then spread its wings to gather some sunshine.  It held its wings in this sunning position for several minutes while I got some photographs.

The top of this tree was a perfect spot for this bird to get some sunshine,  It was a single barkless trunk about twenty feet high.  This was at Lake Monroe in Monroe County, near North Fork of Salt Creek.  Photos taken June 5, 2019.

Black vultures have been reported curiously damaging cars at Monroe Lake, here is a link:
