Not the greatest but best vulture shots yet. I'm having a hard time with those guys.

You seem to be doing all right with them though, Claude. I especially like the first with that great wing spread and the light behind it and shining through some. That's a really good shot! So, well done.

Well caught. If you find you're turning circles photographing them as they fly round you getting ever closer, that's the time to run :lol:

I don't know why you're beating yourself up about these images Claude! And you got both the commoners of the vulture world....very nice.
The only thing that could have helped the first image would have been a monster sized flash to light the belly a little better. The focus looks to be spot on and the detail is still there.
The 2nd one is very nice too because you got a better angle on this one. Maybe the Black Vulture is the one Mark is warning you about above - :)
