This would be my guess... turkey vultures can be huge.
On the central coast they have a series of volcanic domes, rocky hills a few thousand feet tall, I climbed to the top of one of them.
The turkey vultures love to circle and ride the updraft that comes off the row of volcanic domes.
I laid out on top of the dome and warmed myself in the sun, looking up there were a half dozen vultures circling (nothing unusual, see them around there all the time).I closed my eyes for a few minutes... when I opened my eyes the vultures were circling noticeable lower than when I laid down.
