Emily, the trip to Guyana was great with plenty of nice birds like this one. I'm sure you'll see some of these vultures some time in the future.

I'm in love with this shot Tom! I so badly want to see one of these in the wild some day!

OK Christy, I was forgetting about the boundaries of the mission.

So cute!! Looks like a Turkey Vulture with a yellow head!! Great pic, Tom! However, it's in South America, and that's out of the range of the Raptor Mission...would you please remove it?? As much as I want it there... ;-)
