I like the first two alot, I never see them sitting and even in flight they are so far away I can't get a decent shot.

Great shots. The first two get my vote. Maybe a tighter crop on the third one, though.

Very good shots of the TV! 2 is especially cool, not something you usually see, the nictitating membrane over the eye and the mouth open. Love the first too. Gives you a good look at how long the wings are when folded.

Great shots... The only ones I've managed of a turkey vulture are in flight like your last one, only MUCH farther away and much higher :)
