A treat for the eyes and spirit.
Watching Turkey Vultures soaring overhead is always a treat for the eyes and the spirit.
In formation.
Turkey Vultures are on the move; fall migration seems to be underway. These three are in a line astern formation above a night roost. Could not get a good focus on them despite numerous tries. My technique needs work.
Such graceful birds; I love watching them.
I never tire.
I never tire of watching Turkey Vultures wheel and soar. Such graceful birds.
Whizzed by.
Same storm as I posted about last night. This Turkey Vulture whizzed by flying downwind. I was rapidly swinging the camera trying to keep up, snapping away, and am surprised to have caught it at all.
Quite an acrobatic show.
Yesterday evening a decaying thundershower moved in, and an outflow gust front from it brought brisk and gusty wind. Turkey Vultures returning to their nearby roost rode the wind and put on quite an acrobatic show, wheeling, tilting and rocking, power diving, a few blowing through at less than treetop height.
I caught this one in a stoop, wings drawn in, losing altitude in a hurry.
This close.
Faye and I took a nature walk and were very surprised that this immature Turkey Vulture allowed us to get this close, within about 5 meters, before it flew away.
Must watch.
Must watch turkey buzzrd. Might swoop down. Boof stay away.
Attractively highlighted.
Illuminated by early morning sunlight, this Turkey Vulture’s feathers were most attractively highlighted.
Soars.
Primary feathers extended, right wing and head highlighted by the early evening sun, a Turkey Vulture effortlessly soars.
