    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!"

    Really nice shots! That group of black ones on the hill look particularly "menacing"!!!! Quite a group! :D

    Great job shooting the black vultures on the hill - thats a really tough exposure with the black feathers against the bright sky. You kept nice detail.

    Yeah....a vulture thread! They may not be very handsome but they are graceful flyers. Nice shots especially that 4th one.
