Maybe Too Up-Close

This turkey vulture absolutely didn't want to move from the side of the walking trail - surely he wasn't concerned that I'd take his lunch! They are the homeliest birds and don't improve much on closer views. (Things were tough today!)

It may not win any beauty prizes but you've certainly captured a lot of detail.

[Diane]

Your focus is spot on!

[Linda Godwin]

The vultures do us a really good service by cleaning up unwanted leftovers.Its part of God`s balance.

[Debra]

Wow, what a wonderfully gory capture.

[PhotoCrazy]

Oh my!

[Jo]

Great detail and capture - you are right they are not the prettiest bird

[Carolyn]

[Rick]

Yuck!! :-) Guess as Linda indicated, they do offer some service, but they sure are ugly. Cool capture.

Gret capture ... although they seem quite ugly this close up really shows the beautiful colours on his head

[The Crow]

A little bit jealous ;-) Nice!!!

[Daisy Miller]

A fav. A great close up shot with nicely captured details. Turkey vultures have a place in nature. A bit gory work though.

They are not the best looking birds, but they are so necessary. Great shot of this one.
