Up close

I posted a picture of a turkey vulture in flight. What beautiful birds when soaring above us. But up close kinda ugly. I should post a few comments but really sleepy. Catch up in morning.

Looks like one mean turkey!!

[Janiskay]

Great capture!

[Richard Sayer]

I think he's very interesting looking - he has lots of character - and this is a great image. Well done you.

[Poppo Livy]

A face only a mother could love

[Rachel]

Gorgeous wing detail, shame about the face. Hehe

[Lin]

LOL - I agree with Rachel - lovely body, but red head...not so much. Nicely captured.

[Taffy]

Rachel @888rachel said it all!

[Candace]

Ni ce bird til' you get to the head!!

[Hilary]

Nice shot, is this your 'ugly'? lol

[Denise Wood]

Great capture :)

[Joan Robillard]

@hilarymeme Oh I hope it's the ugliest thing I post this week.

[Margaret Obey]

Love the details

[Nancy]

They're definitely ugly birds, but great shot with the detail.

[Joan Robillard]

@ladygator Except in flight they are so graceful.

[Kane Arlow]

Fantastic shot, you are right, they are pretty ugly up close, or as they say, the face only a mother could love.

[Francoise]

nice shot. I wonder if they have bald heads so they're easier to clean after they... (well, I won't mention what they do).

[Sheralee S]

I agree... Kinda ugly up close, still nicely captured Joan.

[Junko Y]

what @vignouse said!

[Yeshanghai]

Great find and capture. Love the colors

[Graham Thresher]

A super detailed capture.

[Rosie Kerr]

I agree... a wrinkly little noggin on this bird! Every wrinkle captured in excellent detail. ;)

[KWind]

Nicely focused!

[Linda Plummer]

Good capture Joan. They are one Ugly bird. We have them around here too.

[Gena Pegg]

Great detail on the homely face!! Nice catch.
