Black Vulture by grammyn

Black Vulture

On Thursdays I volunteer at two different schools. On my way to the second school today I was wondering what i was going to get for a picture today. Time seems so limited to me on Thursdays. All of a sudden what did I see but this huge bird. A lot passed through my head...was this just another big bird ? Should I try for the shot? Would it still be there if I turned around? Do I have time to still get to my second school? I decided to chance it...............pulled into a driveway, rolled down the window and shot away. He stayed right there because he was feasting on a dead animal of some kind. He kept looking up as cars passed but stayed right there. He also heard the radio in my car and looked my way a time or two but stayed there. Also see

Thanks, Mag. he was right beside the road. I think I have seen him in the sky a bit lately but can't ever catch it that way

Nice shot... is it kind of sick of me to say that it is cool that you caught a bit of his dead meat in the shot?

@marilyn Thanks. I don't think that is meat I think it is his beak.........I could be wrong though.

Wow! have never seen them in their natural surroundings :)
Do you always carry your camera with you everywhere?) I'm doing so - but always wonder how it's possible!)))

@nyusha I do take my camera with me almost always unless I have already posted my shots for the day. It gets in the way some times but when I don't have it with me there is almost always a shot I miss because it is at home!
