Those who may have thought my photos aren't worth excrement are obviously wrong. God, but that's got to be some awful stuff!

It's the stuff even a turkey vulture couldn't digest. Probably burned a 3 foot diameter hole in the grass where it landed.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

That's just what I would think!

Great timing-less than desirable situation, but that's what happens with nature, and if the picture's good, you gotta keep it. I've just missed the same pose with some local eagles several times.

Thanks, guys. One rarely sees vultures standing let alone, you know....

I got crapped on by a Canada goose once. I thought it was bad, but I'd take a hit from a goose any day compared to a vulture.

I used to see a lot of cormorants(large flocks) while goose hunting with my dad(we no longer hunt that marsh). Obviously, they're an unshootable species, my dad always joked that they're safe unless they poop on him.

If I had a diet rich in stale roadkill I'd probably do a lot of the same. Maybe I'm a bit twisted but I cracked up at your photo. Great timing.


Have a wheelie nice day!

We have dozens of TVs living in the trees behind our house. They circulate overhead every evening. That's why I always park in my garage.;-)a:lol:
