That bird appears to have a rather full crop from feeding and is likely just resting after eating its fill.

Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails. On Saturday afternoon at Croton Point Park I had three black vultures two in and out of road picking at road kill; but the third was just sitting goose-like in the grass. It was not injured as gone by the time I left CPP. See photos in ebird link. I do not ever recall seeing such behavior of a vulture turkey or black. Is anyone familiar with it? L.
