Beautiful Ugly

This is the Turkey Buzzard in all its glory. Some people think it's an ugly bird. I think it's magnificent. This bird was swooping above and around the Pomona Lake Dam on my drive home from work. Best viewed large.

I posted a shot of one earlier this evening. They are very graceful in flight.

I think they are neat birds - they do have ugly tendencies, however :)
