Turkey Vulture

This picture has not been cropped. The bird was fighting the wind and seemed to hang over me and was so close it didn't all fit in the frame. There were 4 of them circling and their wingspan is around 6 feet. I had a different shot of it for my PAD, but decided I like this one better.

Four of them hovering over you? I'd be scared. I've never seen them fly before, you caught it perfectly,awesome detail especially on the wings,gmv
