What a turkey.........................vulture that is. :rofl Nice set of captures, Jeff. Nothing wrong with those vulture birds. They are pretty graceful despite being a bit uninhibited at the dinner table.

Yes indeed! Nice capture.:thumb
I've seen turkey vultures flying around here many times. But, since I got my long lens, I have not seen a one.:cry
Maybe they will be more plentiful in summer. I'd give my eye teeth for a vulture or a hawk. Of course we don't have egrets out here in the desert.:wink Maybe I'll just have to take a trip to the coast.:):

Very, very nice Jeff, but now I know to be careful around you when the TV's are in the area, unless of course Ben is there.
