It's a
turkey buzzard.
Apparently, he's shopping for roadkill:

The turkey vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion.[4] It finds its food using its keen eyes and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gases produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals.

It was very exciting watching him fly. He was soaring overhead, pictures through the sunroof were not very successful, and repeatedly swooping along the road, just in front of us. I stopped the car and watched and took his picture. He was right there, like he was playing chicken (there's a chicken joke in there somewhere...).
