Black Vulture

Sugar Land, Texas

This guy was sitting on top of a trash dumpster and wanted to get inside. I think he could smell something rotten in it.
Young one. Probably end of first year.

It would take a lot to love them...I dislike crows so they were a black I ignored :)

He does look sinister, but attractive. Great shot of him. ~V~

Super shot. So they are to be found in urban environments? Always thought of them being out in the countryside.

they have their role like so many creatures....a fine catch..

A fantastic shot! I might worry if this was at my front door.

Great shot Lynn. I used to see a lot of turkey vultures when I lived in the country, but never one since.

FANTASTIC shot of this big vulture. We don't get this species up here (except as a rarity occasionally). What a great shot this is, with incredible sharp details. VV
