Turkey Vulture Taking Flight

I spotted this vulture at the top of a light pole and shot a few pictures of it as it sat there. When it suddenly decided to take off (was it something I said?), I only had time for one shot. The lens I was using is manual focus only, and my old eyes really need Autofocus. Also, I was using a mirrorless camera and DSLR's are still tops in my book when it comes to birds in flight. So I was fortunate that the one shot turned out good enough.

Nikon Z 6 ,Nikkor 500mm f/8 Reflex Ai-S
1/2000s f/8.0 at 500.0mm iso2200
F mount lens used with FTZ adapter. full exif


other sizes: small medium large original auto
