Turkey Vulture On High

A couple turkey vultures flew overhead while I was out on a photo walk. I don't think they were looking for me!
The bright clouds reflecting light through the lighter part of the wings, which resulted in nice wing detail. I think they are beautiful, except for that head. :)

1/400s f/10.0 at 500.0mm iso200 full exif

That's an excellent photo of it! There is a colony not far from us, so we have 10 or twenty circling overhead most evenings.
