Close Call?

Not as close as it looks! The Turkey Vulture made it across the road with some room to spare, but it probably was a big surprise to the driver of that car. Vultures were feeding on carrion on the side of the road where I was parked. This vulture decided to fly to a nearby tree and I had to shoot fast. That's how the car got in the picture. :)

So nice and sharp on the vulture in spite of all the action. Lovely light too. Well caught, Vern - and I'm glad he got away! ;)
