During my walk around the lake last week I saw this turkey vulture sitting on this dead tree, turning his wings towards the sun in order to warm them up. He was well aware of my presence, but somehow he didn't mind me standing there and happily clicking away. I love the colors in his wings. Usually we don't really pay attention to turkey vultures, but they belong to my favorite birds. I just love their graceful flight.
For the next couple weeks or so I will take a break from blogland. I hope you will still be here when I return. Have a lovely Fourth of July and enjoy the lazy days of summer!
Magnificent shot! We see them sometimes here but I've rarely gotten an up close view like this. Enjoy your break:)

Carola, we both seem to have "birds on the brain" lately! I love watching them fly as well. Have a great time on your trip! We will be gone the first half of August, but I'm sure we will catch each other later this summer!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great break, Carola. Maybe even getting lots of sun?! :)
ReplyDeleteA fabulous shot Carola!!
