* Turkey Vulture * |
While at the desert museum I got this shot of a turkey vulture, or buzzard as it was always referred to when I was growing up. I had previously got an awesome shot of a group of them down in Baja, with their wings all spread out. I haven't heard any firm reasons why they do this but I would presume that it would be too cool themselves off. In any case, it sure makes them look rather menacing.
