Nice shots. Yeah, it's a beauty alright, but... well... to a photographer. :D And a fine one at that.

It's difficult enough to find Turkey Vultures and Condors around here (southern California), but even harder to approach them.

Whoa what clean shots! You really did a great job getting these. Not exactly what you would call a beautiful bird but really lovely shots!
