Black Vulture

Raccoon Mtn., Chattanooga, Tennessee

This beauty and his buddy were sitting on a guard rail right beside the road and I couldn't believe they didn't fly away. I was thrilled beyond belief because I LOVE vultures. I think they are fascinating. :)

Wow! Great feather detail. I really enjoyed "shooting" the vultures at the Anhinga Trail in the Everglades. They were very willing models and I able to get very close.

You're right, I'm surprised it didn't fly away when you were at this distance.
