This Ruppell's Griffon Vulture is mantling the entire carcass of a Wildebeest that didn't make it across the Mara River in Kenya. The Wildebeest's horn can be seen just beneath the left wing.

Very attractive shot of this Black Crowned Night Heron, Paul! The yellow flowers add a nice touch of color to the overall appeal of the photo.

Two excellent captures, flurp! I'm especially fond of the Goldfinch...love all the color. It would make a nice wall hanger.

First House Wren I've seen in a while, so perhaps they're starting to move.

Thanks, Mike! No doubt this vulture is a "I think I can" creature.

Sterling capture, Steve! I love the setting, plus the sharpness is spot on. The wonderful background set off the house wren so nicely!
