And now for something different! (Vulture Chick)

While out shooting this morning, I came across something I have never seen before. I have seen adult vultures flying back and forth and on the side of the road many many times. I have never seen a Vulture Chick before. Well I noticed this guy sipping some water from a fountain with both parents standing close by. I shot these through an opening of a fence. I was able to get off about four shots of the baby. He still has blonde fuzz on his head. I don't know if I would say that this is a "cute" baby.....

Cropped slighty because of the fence blur on right side of frame

A face only a mother could love.

Good pics.

Very nice shots Keith, although I won't say cute, it's a healthy looking baby.

I`d love to say that is a beautiful bird...........but....​......ehrm.......i`d be lying, they are great photos though.

Great pictures!! They are a bit of a homely bird......

I love the hair dew, Nice capture Keith

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. not a more magnificent bird to be found in the air anywhere!

Not the best looking bird there is but you're captured it well Keith, tack sharp with great details.

Outstanding shots. Call me crazy but I actually think this is a cute chick...maybee I'm influenced by the quality of these stunning shot. Brilliant work as always Keith.

OMG, something uglier than a coot chick, didn't think it was possible.

Wow Fabulous shots! Very sharp images, beautiful b/g's, poses and colours and besides, he's so homely, he's cute!

Looks aren't everything ya-know! Well done Keith, I hope to have an opportunity like this soon.

He looks like a little, old man! Great shots.

I actually think it's kind of cute. Great photos!

Very nice shots Keith.
