Turkey Vulture, Bombay Hook NWR, Smyrna, DE

There's a young turkey vulture who hangs out with one of his parents in this cool looking dead tree at Bear Swamp. His head might not be so attractive but I think the topside of his wings are so beautiful!

Comments appreciated!

Kim,

It's nice to see a pose with a view of the top side of the wings. Excellent flight shot.

I have to say this isn't my favorite shot of yours Kim, but still a cool one!

The topside really is nce. Did you use flsh or his eye really metallic looking like that?

Cool topside view, Kim. Love the pose and the high key BG works here.

Nice topshot of this bird.

I saw an adult TV feeding a juvi today and it was funny to see a huge bird like that do the begging behavior.

Beautiful detail in the top side of the wings here Kim and set off well against the high key BG.

No flash. I think it must have been from the lighting that day.

Wow, thanks for sharing this one Kim, I have not personally seen a juvenile TV. Sorry to impact your lunch with the Osprey shot but I am not sure looking at turkey vulture head is much better
