I'm jelous TVs in my corners are almost always up and soaring. Great static shots. Nobody thinks they're ugly when in the air.

Very nice pictures. Are these of black vultures?

Very nice pictures but really freaky looking birds

It's easy....You just tie a piece of rancid, maggot infested meat around your neck, and then lay down and play dead! Just kidding, of course. they had actually gathered around a dried up water hole. No doubt their keen sense of smell detected something dead there, alothough I didn't see what it was. They aren't really afraid until you get REALLY close. I got within about 10 feet or so for most of these shots.

Only the last one. The others are Turkey Vultures.

Thanks for the comments all!

Ugly bird but well captured with great details. Very good job Bob.
