not your usual shorebird

A group of 10 turkey vultures on the beach at Port Austin…had to google it & yes, they do frequent beaches and are good for “clean up” duty. :)

Amazing, I never knew that, it seems counter-intuitive.

That is one beautiful shot of one ug-g-g-gly bird. Must be a wonderful place there, if even the vultures get to hit the beach regularly. ;-)

Very nice shot of a bird only a mother could love. I actually think they are pretty cool looking.
