Great shot Excellent sharp details. They are not very pretty birds though are they? I see turkey vultures here every so often and they look beautiful when they are soaring high in the sky...up close it is a different story.

This is a splendid photograph, of such an amazing bird. I see beauty where others perhaps see something other, these are magnificent creatures, the facial feastures, plumage and beaks are incredible in the flesh.
A wonderful shot
