I encountered a vulture decades ago. I was driving in the San Fernando Valley just outside of Los Angeles; I turned into a quiet side street, and I almost ran over a vulture that was picking at roadkill. It was the size of a two- or three-year-old child. It immediately turned and ran along the street away from me to get up to soaring speed and flew away. If you aren't expecting it, and I wasn't, it's an unforgettable experience.
