They are beautiful in flight, definitely...and they are beautiful up close...well, they think so at any rate!! That silver lining on the wings is spectacular! For the location, you could pick a nearby city to use...does it not recognize West Hartland? Did you put a state? Good luck!

Thank you Christy! I tried to correct the location, but for some reason it's not changing. I spotted this vulture in West Hartland, not Hartford, Ct. The wing span is breathtaking on these vultures!
