We had wonderful weather this morning, so I headed for Delta Ponds, where I spend a lot of time. While on my morning walk to four of the Ponds, I had a most unusual meeting. I was on a high bank overlooking the north pond when a turkey vulture landed on the bank just below me. It was about 10-15 feet away. I thought, hey it couldn't be after me, though in the photo it is looking right at me! Sure enough there was a dead bird just below, which I finally saw it picking at. But it was still quite a surprise to have the vulture swoop down and land so close by. I had to back off to 200mm to get it in the picture.
