Pulled this from the archives, and it will be a resubmission, with some improvements.

Though from a distance they may appear similar to those who have not studied the differences, the slightly-less-common (in these parts) Black Vulture is--at least to me--way more imposing a figure than the Turkey Vulture. They are also more likely to kill its prey.

This was shot on a rooftop overlooking the Delaware River in New Hope, Pennsylvania. February, 2008.

Wow, what an imposing bird, looks like its straight out of a Harry Potter movie. Fantastic capture Michelle. As for Sela, she's not a cuddly, sit on your knee kind of cat, but she has the sweetest personality.

I hadn't run into black vultures much till we moved here to Florida. While I see the turkey vultures often also, the black seem to have quite a presence too. A warning at a state park said they are sometimes inclined to eat the rubber right off your windshield wipers! This is a neat shot of this imposing bird, Michelle.

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing
Lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once moreTo my amazement
There stood a raven (Alan Parsons Project) Great shot Michelle!!!
