Turkey Vultures photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in deep South Texas 12 April 2022.  This is a bit unusual because typically Turkey Vultures are not aggressive.  

1/3200 sec
f/6.3
ISO 800

Image looks better viewed large.

Funny-when I saw this I thought it was an affectionate pair. Super shot, anyway-I rarely see two interacting together for any reason.

Great interaction captured, doesn't look overly aggressive at that point, but who knows what followed. :)

Great interaction capture, Gene - that foot around the back of the head is sneaky!
