That is really cool Roger. I had to look at the photos a couple of times to see what you were talking about.
Here is some information about the hole.
The sense of smell of the Turkey Vulture is phenomenal. From 200 feet in the air they can smell a dead mouse under leaves in a forest. Their beak has a hole all the way through it that allows odors to pass through from both sides. When they soar on thermals in the sky they are attempting to scent carrion. They are the only North American raptor with a developed sense of smell.
