Dave, an excellent close up look at this bird of prey. Really nice to see you captured the entire bird as the one branch was fairly tight on the beak / bill.
Never realized how HUGE these guys were until I come over the top of an arroyo and a group were gorging on a dead steer. Some really big dudes.

Beautiful image of the coolest bird in the world!

You provided a great up close look at this species Dave, Great job on the head and feather detail.

Nice portrait of this much maligned bird Dave. He almost looks regal, ha ha. Beautiful blue background sets him off well and I’m enjoying all the detail.
