Photography of Birds – Set # 9 | H.J. Ruiz

These Turkey Vultures are just relaxing before they taking off to fly high up to find any kind of carrion. They may cover a large area.

This Black Vulture is smaller than the birds mentioned above. These species also make use of the thermal air currents to keep long flights canvassing for carrion. Notice the difference between these 2 species.

Occasionally a few Turkey Vultures will appear in our back yard. They are HUGE, and it’s hard to imagine how they can fly!

  They are probably disposing of any death animal (snake, vole, etc.) Don’t worry, M. you’re OK! 🙂

Great to see both species of vultures, HJ, in these wonderful photos. Magnificent flyers and earth cleaners.
