Turkey Vulture

A dismal, grey, rainy day but I don't see these guys that often so I took the shot anyway. This bird is not about to take off; there were two of them and they both periodically stretched their wings like this. I am not sure of the reason - perhaps to shed accumulated rain water.

Wow, you are lucky to get such a close up view of these guys! I have only seen them soaring.
