Very nice shots, beautiful but unusual looking bird. Looks like a cross between a hawk and vulture with trumps hairdo.

Thanks very much everyone.

Randy, they behave much like both a Hawk and a Vulture feasting on anything from road kill to rodents and reptiles.

Nicely done Steve. I struggle to hand hold a 400, so lucky you for having steady hands with the 500!
