That’s one mean-looking bird!
Turkey vulture, I love them. You always see them circling on rubbish day.

Some great pics there @edd9000
Stunning! Love the blue jay 
I haven’t done much birding in North America but I don’t see a Blue Jay amongst those pics.
If you mean this:
It looks like a Grackle to me

Possibly a Boat-tail Grackle.

Yeah, that’s what it looks like to me.
The Florida sub-species has a dark eye (like yours) whereas outside of the area they have a pale yellowish eye.
There were a few females too but I didn’t like the photos

Lol, pinchbeck news…
How long before dRuMpf renames Bald Eagles as American Eagles, even though Biden (kind of) got there before him??
Basically a seagull with an excellent PR person 
Turkey vultures > Seagulls

Came across them recently for the first time - apparently they have insane stomach acid, at ph 1, vs a range of 2-4 for almost all other birds.
Which they projectile vomit on threats.
