Nope; I'm sure it's been said before, but they were turkey vultures.
Congratulations on a close sighting!  TV's have a pattern kind of like this
underneath:


			       ^          <== Red featherless head
		       /--------------\
	      /-------/     /-----\    \----------\
	     / /-----------/       \-------------  \<==black part
	    /-             White part            \--\  
	    /--------------|       |----------------\
			    |     |                  
			    /     \
			   /       \
			   \_______/

Not the best rendition, but you get the idea.
