Field Notes

Description:

Today was a very overcast day and may have even been raining when I took these pics. These guys had been feasting on a deer carcass and a red shouldered hawk came and they fled from the meal leaving him to it. I found them sulking in the trees until the hawk had his fill.

Thanks MickGrant!

What a great series of high quality photos!

Thank you Mitch! They serve a valuable purpose and are not a bird that is, as you said, appreciated.

Killer shots of some under-appreciated birds

Thanks Satyen!

Lovely action shots.

Thanks!

Superb!

I agree!! ;-)

Thanks Christy! I fixed it! Never realized there was a difference. That's what great about Noah. Learning something new everyday.

What a fantastic encounter!! These are actually Black Vultures, not Turkey Vultures. Amazing sights!! Great photos!

Thanks again Karen!

Another lovely series! Well done Kat!
