What Bird Is That Forum

I feel like I've got these narrowed down but just want to double check as they're each my first sighting. I believe I have a Hairy Woodpecker (seems too big to be a Downy), a Turkey Vulture in flight and a Brown-Headed Cowbird. Thanks!

Correct on all 3. Though sometimes Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers fool me. The bill looks too long for Downy.

All correct!

No black spots on those outer tail feathers too.
