Waiting and Watching...

watching and waiting...

[Sam]

Are these hawks Lin?

[vstap]

Looks like vultures? Like the addition of the screen here for some texture. Nice silhouette.

[Graham Thresher]

A super capture. Fav

[Julie Duncan]

YIKES!!! Great shot, Lin! :)

[Mannie]

Wonderful vultures. Great capture. I like the way you kept it so dark--enhances the foreboding mood that the presence of the bird invokes.

[Jane Anderson]

You can count on Mannie (above) to correctly identify the birds, which means they must be watching and waiting for something to die.

[Laur]

Wow! What a shot. Right place, right time? Or did

[Laur]

Or did u plan?

[Kay Hodges]

Lovely capture

[Lin]

@gigiflower Sam, they are vultures. I also call them buzzards but I'm not sure if that's accurate! Thanks for stopping by!

[Lin]

@vstap @thresheg @juliedduncan Thanks so much! Appreciate your comments and fav!

[Lin]

@mbemis @cejaanderson Thanks so much! They were sitting there until dark so I think they were on to something!

[Lin]

@creativeaddict It was a lucky capture. I was out for a walk and just happened to look up! Thanks for stopping by!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

I would be concerned if I had vultures looking down on me, although I don't think I would be very tasty. Neat capture and a FAV.

[gloria jones]

Great capture...the blue sky background is a perfect contrast.

[Tremerryn]

Wow! They are vultures? A great shot.

[Lin]

@ladymagpie Lol. I was glad that they seemed to be ignoring me! Many thanks for the fav!

[Lin]

@seattlite Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Oh! Good one. Boy, if that's not the truth about these guys watching and waiting — they've got patience like no other. It would make one nervous to have vultures watching you... you'd be tempting to wonder if they knew something about the future that you didn't....

[Lin]

@lyndemc LOL - Yes, Denise - I'm not sure why they were looking toward the lake! Happily, they were gone the next morning! Thanks for stopping by!

[Richard Hickey]

Great silhouettes of the turkey vultures. I caught some during year 2 on a roof and never saw them up there since. Brilliant shot and a fav!
