no, not really. just the regular kind. apparently they like hanging around the dumpster at the construction site here in our neighborhood.

this is actually the 2nd time I have photographed vultures. just happened that way. these birds were a lot more skittish than the ones I photographed back in Orlando.

they're not spectacular photographs or anything, but there is something to be said for their beauty in flight...wish I could have captured it better. their wings are pretty amazing.

Your choice for grayscale images shows off the contrast in their wings. Beautiful work!

yes, they were pretty in color, but I loved the way the wings were defined in b&w
thank you :-)
I think it's really cool how the last five feathers on their wings are almost like fingers.

2715/4437530943_c390468168_b.jpg I think is the best of the set. The rim lighting on the feathers is excellent.
