WHILE CHECKING ON OTHER AIR TRAFFIC A TURKEY VULTURE SUDDENLY APPEARED ALMOST DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF A/C. ATTEMPTED MILD EVASIVE ACTION, NOT MUCH TIME TO REACT AND TOO CLOSE TO GROUND, A TALL TOWER AND OTHER A/C TO DO MUCH ELSE. THE VULTURE SPREAD ITS WINGS VERTICALLY AT THE LAST SECOND & A/C RT WING CLIPPED BIRD'S RT WING. I BELIEVE MAIN MASS OF BIRD TRAVELED UNDER THE WING AND THEN STRUCK THE HORIZ STAB W/ A LOUD, HARD IMPACT. DAMAGE WAS VISIBLE FROM INSIDE COCKPIT BUT FORTUNATELY A/C HANDLED NO DIFFERENTLY THAN BEFORE THE STRIKE & A NORMAL LANDING WAS MADE. A/C OUT OF SERVICE 4-6 WEEKS.
