Great photo, HJ, with the serene light, and the turkey vulture looking pristine, every beautiful feather in place. Fun to see them in the VIB gallery, for they are indeed important.
Thank you my friend, this individual is obviously well fed and without much competition (Peers) because that’s how they lose feathers or more. They fight with their own for carrion. The go into a frenzy for a piece of rotten meat. But, that’s the way they are…bad table manners but important to the World’s Ecology, and other important scientific contributions. 🙂

They have an amazing wingspan. We have them here but they’re always on the ground. Wish I could snap one in flight. Great shot, my friend!! 😊
You have to look up the sky because they can not live on land all the time. Thank you my friend Dorinda! 🙂
Oh I do, H.J., I just never have my camera with me when it happens!! lol You’re very welcome. I really enjoy your photos and info on the birds!
Great photo! We have zillions of turkey vultures here.
