Jessie Ross saw something similar, a prehistoric eagle perched on a 15-foot (4.5 m) cliff. When he saw it, he tried to take off, and had to take clumsy steps. It wasn't a vulture.

It stood on a rock, was about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, had a hooked beak, was jet black with a bright orange head and eyes two inches across. 

It eventually took to the air, spreading its wingspan 20-22 feet (6-6. 6 m) to catch 90-degree summer thermals (an updraft of warm air), and flew North.
