ReplyDeleteI've only seen the ones with red faces. I've never seen the black ones before. Great shot!
ReplyDeletenice job capturing this 'handsome' one. :) i do think they're lovely, actually.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of one ugly bird! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe were in South Carolina over Christmas and saw quite a few vultures. Interesting, but not exactly endearing.
ReplyDeleteALmost was thinking cormorant, until I saw the face, which is as unattractive, but well presented in your shots.
ReplyDeleteYou got a couple of very nice shots of him!
