Coincidentally--- I was walking to the mailbox and saw about 8 of them circling over a spot off to the west. They get a bad rap from old movies, but as Ginny said, above, they are good to have around.
NUMBER ONE. i love him.. i am one of few that like vultures/buzzards.. God's Garbage Guys and they can't help how they look and they do a great job cleaning up man made messes... saw one today on the way to Walmart, he was cleaning up roadkill by the park... great shot
Well both are good angles! You look big and strong either way, oh and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, a very vain bird. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNeither! They are actually lovely sharp photos of this Turkey Vulture. They provide a valuable service, and have their place in our ecology.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the first one shows your best side, you beautiful bird :))
ReplyDeleteI like the second one best -- it's more complicated.

ReplyDeleteGood all round I'd say! YAM xx
They aren't a bad looking bird until you get to the head. Not fair that they should have such an ugly looking head...lol
ReplyDeleteLOL, I would say both sides... A unique looking bird, but I am glad they are around. Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI'm not overly fond of seeing these guys, but you got some great shots!
ReplyDeleteSome say ugly, some say beautiful. We can't all have the looks of movie stars. Great photo.💖
ReplyDeleteWow! Excellent close-ups with beautiful detail in its plumage!!

ReplyDeleteNeither. (I know they're necessary, but still ugly)
ReplyDeleteGood photos tho. Seriuosly.
What a self centred fellow he is! But I love the second one..His cocking his head to a side !
ReplyDeleteDevi :)))
Faces only a mother can love! Fabulous close ups
ReplyDeleteThe first one is a fine portrait of this ugly bird. I gues it takes all knds.
ReplyDeleteFirst one. Wow great shots.
ReplyDeleteA face only a mother could love, but once these guys in flight, they are majestic .
ReplyDeletea couple of rotations and it will pop right off
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if there is a better side! Great images!
ReplyDeletehahaha, the first one. That's a great photo, Rose. Such unusual looking birds, aren't they?
