Vulture
My neighbor asked me to go out on his boat this morning and I jumped at the chance to go. While putzing around Spring Lake, we saw a group of maybe a dozen Turkey Vultures in the rocks near shore with a couple of them sunning and stretching out their wings, as this one was. Easy pickings from a boat, this was the only one who gave me a clean shot. Slight crop from the bottom to eliminate the seawall in the foreground.
Pentax K10D, Pentax 80-320 @320mm, f7.1, 1/640, iso 200

Nice, I like the light on his wings. We have had more than usual around here.

Very nice, Toni. Good behavioral shot.
