These were taken in Panama City 02/13. They are everywhere. We do not get Black Vultures often in Ontario, so I took these shots.

John,

Now this bird seems to be in need of some moisturiser :biggrin:

Great detail and excellent background :toast:

Great profile portrait John, nice details and I like the complimentary BG.
I especially like the open beak view that shows us the 'rasp-like' tongue, and the bit of blood I see..
Well done! :toast:

NIce portrait indeed - I had the same experience some months ago in the city center of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Nice colors, details and sharpness in this image. Cheers, Hans
