Can't help believing that the turkey vulture has a beautiful body and wings. It's just the head that only a mother could love.

A bird in flight with full wing span is amazing.

Excellent flight shot.

Excellent picture of the bird in flight. At this distance the head doesn't look too bad either.

You're right about the fact that, aside from the head, they're beautiful birds.

Stunning graceful bird, it is just the head got made from left-0ver parts! ;-D

The wing span is wonderful, but you're right the face is one only a mother could love. :) Nice in flight capture!

Certainly an impressive bird in flight.

I agree, Vern. Ignore the head, and it is a lovely bird. They are also very useful.
