    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    What a turkey.........................vulture that is. rolleyes1.gif Nice set of captures, Jeff. Nothing wrong with those vulture birds. They are pretty graceful despite being a bit uninhibited at the dinner table.

    Yes indeed! Nice capture.thumb.gif
    I've seen turkey vultures flying around here many times. But, since I got my long lens, I have not seen a one.:cry
    Maybe they will be more plentiful in summer. I'd give my eye teeth for a vulture or a hawk. Of course we don't have egrets out here in the desert.mwink.gif Maybe I'll just have to take a trip to the coast.:):

    Very, very nice Jeff, but now I know to be careful around you when the TV's are in the area, unless of course Ben is there.
