These guys are new to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine, FL. I could'nt get them both in the frame. They have an eight foot wingspan. They are Cape Griffon Vultures from West Africa.

    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!"
