They are a rather intimidating bird for me (vulture?), but fascinating to photograph. There is so much character in there faces, this one looks like he’s seen a few skirmishes in his time. Very nice capture Dave.

A nice head turn and good look at the head. I like that the wings are spread a bit. A tad noisy in the shadows.

Hi Dave, nice backwards-looking pose and I like the composition. Agree with Allen about the noisy shadows.
