Turkey Vulture

For some reason, I saw more than one on my outing. Think they are after me? :) I think this one was trying to scare me away. If you would like more information about the turkey vulture and others of the same species, check out this website - http://www.lairweb.org.nz/vulture/turkey.html I didn't know that some of them are now extinct and others close to it. - D2x2007-04-16_012

What a gorgeous shot! I love the light coming through the spread wings.

A much maligned bird, except for the head they are quite beautiful. And the head aint all that bad either. This just may be the best shot of one I've ever seen. Quite wonderful. Love that wing spread and tail spread.

That's a fantastic catch Vern. A most impressive bird.

Except for that fabulously ugly head, it's actually a nice-looking bird.

amazing shot! I have seen turkey vultures on the ground or perched on a fence post, but to get a shot of one with its wings spread is spectacular.

That's a nice shot. He's really trying to make himself look large.
