Kathleen (Britts) and I saw a young Turkey Vulture in Shady Valley as we were
heading home on Monday. It did look like Black Vulture, except for its yellow
legs!

Rick,
Sure looks like a juvenile to me, too.
I saw juvenile Barn Swallows today in Washington Co., TN.
With the early spring we had this year, several birds took advantage
to start nesting early. We saw a juv. Junco in Shady Valley (McQueen
Gap Rd.) on Saturday, which was more than 2 weeks earlier than the
early date for fledged young provided by the Tenn. Breeding Bird Atlas.
The Atlas gives an early date for fledged Cliff & Barn Swallows as 25 May,
so we bested both of those, too.
