Turkey Vulture

The turkey vultures are again at Delta Ponds. I haven't seen them there since last spring. I went to the Ponds this morning to see if anything new was happening and, other than the vultures, the only thing happening was the rain. I soon got rained out, but not before I got a few shots of the vultures.

"Handsome" is not the first word that comes to mind. . . . ;-)

What a grand portrait!! We have them here and it's amazing to see them roosting. Vote!

Walter Otto Koenig		22-Mar-2016 00:20

They are ugly enough to be cute in their own sort of way.

Good capture of this strange bird, but it serves a purpose in life.

Helen Betts		21-Mar-2016 22:39
Very striking image, and the poor weather doesn't seem to have bothered this vulture.

Kenny E		21-Mar-2016 22:38
A vulture, with two dead rabbits,trying to get on an airplane was denied because there was a "one piece carrion"limit. Nice Picture.

Martin Lamoon		21-Mar-2016 22:26
