Yes, a Turkey Vulture. We headed out for lunch today after my wife's beading class. When we came out of the church I saw this one light on this barn roof. While everyone else left the parking lot for the trip to the resturant I drove over and shot a couple frames. I was not sure if I should crop out the barn roof or leave it. The siding on the windows seems to take over the shot but I don't know if that is bad. Anyway here it is. Only had one calf this morning so I caught some free time to shoot.

It's always fun watching the Vultures, even as ugly as they are. With the roof lines being the way they are, it's a tough call as to where to crop this one, Kendall.
