Vultures

"Patience", my butt! I'm gonna kill something!

You find THOSE out in the wild where you are???
Whoa!

Out of the three bif-photos, I think the last is best, although the huge amount of brightening to the winds to bring out the detail there does show in the noise it gave you. I still wish ANY of the bif-photos I've tried to take so far in my life had come out as well as these...!!!

Thank you kindly! You're right - I should address the noise issue.

I really like the first photo, with the dead limbs and that vulture focused on something.

Where did you make this photo?

The Phoenix Zoo. I think they're African vultures. Note the band on the leg facing us.

The other three were shot out in the desert.

That is a good zoo photo.
