Don't know what the wingspan was, but from nose to tail it was as long as a car.
Has anyone on Pelican seen a really huge bird like that, ever?

I once saw the oldest, largest, and ugliest turkey vulture ever witnessed by a human being in non-prehistoric times (
my opinion).
I looked up the size of what one of these is supposed to get to, this one was about 50% larger.
Every now and then a report gets published of a certain species of fish 50% to 200% larger than previously recorded so I guess it would be possible for birds.
Seriously this turkey vulture in Michigan was about the size of a California Condor according to information I researched. The experts at U of M told me I was wrong, they were very sure of themselves.
Old thread on it from back in 2009.

Along this same stretch of road are some very large raven/crow, much larger than anywhere else I've seen. There might be some experimental super food crops being grown by the university, but that's just a guess. If mice eat the special grain and scavengers eat the mice, anything is possible - right?
I also saw via my headlights in Milford MI, a large dog sized animal (
all black) walking in a very
cat-like manner. It was going into a mobile home park, perhaps seeking digestible pets - easy prey. Rumors of a black panther in Michigan abound, but I hesitate claiming to be one of the witnesses.
I just didn't get that good of a look.
