Turkey Vultures
Saw some black birds on the road the other day, enjoying a lunch of roadkill, and managed to stop before they all flew away. Just snapped 2 or 3 pictures before they rose on their huge wings, but somehow I got the focus quite well.
This one was flying off immediately, but I liked the shot with its wings out wide.
This one stayed on the fencepost until I got a shot off through the open window.
Then it left too. You gotta be quick!

Great shots!
ReplyDeleteNot the prettiest of creatures, are they? But captured here to good effect. Like you say You gotta be quick.
ReplyDeleteUndercarriage, all flaps up and lift off, what a great shot.
ReplyDeleteThe heads are dinosaur-like. The last shot showing the wings like a closed blind is great!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I am jealous of this fine zoom on your new camera. Wonderful shots of the vulture. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteOh I like these ... especially the last one and the caption you've used!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan

ReplyDeleteWow, great shots.
ReplyDeleteAh, to be able to fly like they do -- but I'll pass on their diet.
ReplyDeleteyou got some great shots there - nice work :-)
ReplyDeleteYour first shot is great! I know how hard it is to capture a moving animal.
ReplyDeleteSplendid vulture photos, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWe have these near our town. I don't know where they live but they will show up once in a while all lined up on a fence or in a tree. I think ours are just as ugly, maybe there is not so much red on their head.
