Lonely Guy

I woke up this morning and saw this buzzard in one of the pecan trees in my front yard. He did look kind of lonely to me...as you usually see buzzards in groups. I knew, that if I went outside, he'd fly away.

Well composed and a curious head turn Lucy.
I like the 'expression' I see with the whites of the eye seen too.
Your techs look great, nice shot!:toast:

Sorry, I don't think I'll call your bird image "cute" like I did Phil's. :wink: Nice pose you captured and good job getting a decent image through the window.

Fascinating...I've spent two days thinking that somehow this got posted in the wrong place...silly me! While Turkey Vultures are definitely not cute, this is an excellent look at one even through the window. If the glass is clean it shouldn't reduce the image quality noticeably.
