    Turkey Vulture

    Taken with Vivitar 400mm on Canon EF, ASA 400 (Captive Subject)

    Bigger Here


    During the entire time he was out he kept ducking his head like he was going to deficate. Despite never having seen a turkey vulture take a shit, given what I know of raptors and that element of nature I assume that could have been messy as the peremeter cables where only a couple feet away, Had he actually needed to deficate some viewers would have ended up with an unsightly mess on their pants and shoes.

    seriously.




    The shot is great, wonderful background although i think the beak is a little to bright.

    work!

    Newfoundland 2010 meet-up


    There is pleasure in the pathless woods
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore
    There is society, Where none intrudes
    By the deep sea, and music in its roar
    I love not man the less, But Nature more

    - Lord Byron.

    Thanks, The BG is actually nothing special, just a good angle on the bird, it's grass.

    As for the beak...I was metering for the feathers, A slightly overexposed beak is a small price to pay for the shot.
