Unfortunately I didn't get close enough to get a picture & any search combination I can think of comes up empty.
There were two competing with some turkey buzzards for a dead coon.
Not as big as the buzzards, white head with a black mohawk on top & reddish patch in front of their eyes.
The white gradually turned to patterns till it turned black for the rest of the body.
Legs were longer than the buzzards' and yellow. Beak was shaped like a hawk's.
This is West of Weatherford & I've never seen one like them before.

Yep, they have definitely moved north into territory where they had not been or were not common years ago. I see them way up in Montague County. I would not be surprised if they had not made it into OK. 10 years ago? Nada.

I had never seen one north of Victoria and then saw one in Grape Creek back in December. Just northwest of San Angelo.

Saw two today. See them pretty often.
Character is what you do when nobody's looking.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

Watched one go after a slow moving armadillo in Cranfills Gap when I was in high school and have seen them occasionally (frequently?) through the years.
