Black vultures at lunchtime. by rob257

Black vultures at lunchtime.

These few are part of a gathering of about 20 birds that were politely sharing the remains of a large soft shelled turtle.
Great capture!!

Nice catch.

What super detail on those wings - I'm always surprised how beautiful they are when you see them flying and the wing color stands out - otherwise, sure have a poor reputation. You made them look nice.

Thanks, all! As for the reputation (keeping in mind the FAr Side cartoon, "Ewww, thank God for ketchup!) they really do get a bum rap. When you think about all the dead stuff they chow down on, and what a stink and mess there'd be if they weren't taking care of it, they look a whole lot nicer. AND, there is that little thing about being able to fly. I'm jealous!
