Wild Turkey Vulture

This turkey vulture (along with many others) was circling the Detroit Zoo, presumably looking for food. It landed on a tree branch in
the Zoo's vulture area, perhaps trying to make friends! It then took off after a few minutes, and this was one of the shots
I was able to get.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/250s f/11.0 at 500.0mm iso400 with Nikon TC17EII teleconverter full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Usually birds and mammals are more inclined to want to escape from a zoo not join! Nice work capturing this moment Jay. Tones and pose are fantastic.

An excellent shot, Jay, and you have succeeded well in separating him from his background also.
