Description
As I drove out to the beach last weekend, I came upon this large group of buzzards flying around a tree. I couldn't get out for a really good shot(the road's narrow and there's a blind curve), but I was able to stop long enough for a couple of quick ones of this guy. I have no idea what they were so interested in--that's probably just as well.

Maybe they were waiting for a truck to come careening around the bend so they could have YOU to lunch! Great capture!

Wonderful pic!

These Turkey Buzzards look great circling high in the air...majestic wing span, ability to glide and all...but they do have a menacing appearance up close. This bird is nature's clean-up man and you've captured him perfectly here:)

At first glance I thought that was a chicken in a tree LOL - I see now - very cool

Really stellar shot of the rapacious bird, considering your hurried conditions, M. It may be just perched there, patiently waiting for something to die.

What a majestic bird! Buzzards (vultures) are among my favorites, as we've all been told--mostly by Kojak--Bald is Beautiful. I love this critter's pose; he (she?) is definitely interested in something. Funny, I find these birds to be cute; I think it's because they always look so serious! You caught a fantastic shot here.

Superb portrait! For some reason I never thought of vultures as California birds (well, at least not outside of Hollywood). Poor birds get no respect.
