Shortly before dusk I went out in the yard with my camera. I was hoping to see a nice sunset but I couldn't help noticing a huge gathering of vultures in the sky. They were soaring around and appeared to be socializing with each other.And there was a bright silver sliver, a crescent moon. When the birds flew in front of the moon, I started shooting pictures.

They must have been socializing before flying off to their roost. I can imagine how nasty that place must be.
ReplyDeletei love when the vultures kettle like that. very cool with the moon slice.
ReplyDeleteA good capture!
ReplyDeleteThey always look so graceful swooping in the sky. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteI used to think all the beautiful soaring birds were hawks of some kind. Now that I know they are vultures, they are still beautiful, but when perched in a tree, I think Hitchcock!
