This week it seemed as if I was being followed by Turkey Vultures. When we leave our home to go out shopping we must travel a two lane country road. This first shot was taken in a neighbor's nearby field. As we watched we could see about seven vultures in the field. This was my best shot in the hazy conditions of the day.
On Sunday I was driving to visit my stepdad for Father's Day when I came across another vulture in the middle of another rural road. I grabbed the camera in time to capture him as he flew.

What a treat, Carletta! Living in a big city like Montreal this is something I have never seen! Lovely photos; thank you so much for sharing.
Nice pictures. They are interesting birds aren't they!
great job capturing him in flight!
Great shots of these magnificent birds. The first one looks like a painting.
i love these guys. the perch in the first is perfect!!! :)
I'll say one thing...you can grab your camera in a hurry to get a shot of the turkey vulture flying.
Very nice flight shot Carletta of a species we don't have in the UK.
A great flight-shot!
Well done!
We're all seeing them!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
good captures of the turkey vulture ... we see them overhead here all the time but never close enough to get a photo
Imagine Turkey Vultures being so common. I know they are in parts of Canada but It's good to know they are doing well and finding lots of food.
Great photos and a nice bird.
Great photos of very interesting birds.
Fantastic images...love the one of 'him' in flight!
I think the vultures are cool birds. great shots, I especially love the last shot.
I like the look of vultures. Terrific captures!
Just so long as you keep moving when they see you ;>)....they do a good job of what they're meant to do.
Both of these shots are really good ones!!
Too good shots of the bird.
Very well captured! Birds are very hard to photograph, especially on the wing as they're so quick. Well done.
Are they mistaking you for a turkey or just in love with your blond locks? Nice shots.
great to see your vultures
Turkey Vultures are so cool! Great photos!
Great photos, Carletta!
But for me this bird looks really strange, because we don't see them in Sweden.
Greetings Pia
hi carletta,
enjoyed seeing your photos of the vultures.
what a brilliant series!

I love the Turkey Vulture and your first perch picture is a classic. The flight picture is good as well. Lucky you to be able to get so close ...

Excellent captures.
I love the photo of the flying vulture.
Two great shots, but I love the first one!
Great photos, Carletta! We have them here, but I rarely see them up close like that. Good detail. I love their wobbly soaring. xo
Really great captures.
Great shot of the vulture perched in the dead tree.
I love vultures! Fantastic perch in the first photo!
This is a bird that needs a bit of help with its PR! I saw them when I was in the USA - I rather like their lumpy appearance!
