Great shot, Joyce. I love buzzards, they are so cool. Thank you for your kind comment on my image and for sharing it on Twitter. I don't Tweet so cannot share yours in return. f/v

You got a terrific picture here, Joyce! We have some vultures right around the corner on our road doing their job and cleaning up a roadkill buck (and someone sawed off the rack). I've taken to walking UP the hill instead of down for a week or so. We really need vultures to be our garbage men. People don't realize how big they are in real life, but your image gives an idea of it. Great tree, too! V/F
