Saw this today eating a dead cow. Had at least double the wing span as a vulture.

Looks like a Golden Eagle. They are HUGE birds. We get them here twice a year as they migrate. Awesome to see.

I took this pic with my phone through the binos. It is the biggest bird I've seen in the wild he was about 100 yards away
