I agree. While I am not totally in love with their faces, I still find them beautiful in a way because their bodies are honed perfectly for their lifestyle. I am always amazed at how well, and how long they can glide for on the thermals. Living somewhat close to the ocean we have a lot of airflow, and the vultures are very good at taking advantage of that.

We do have black vultures here, but I have never been able to get close enough to get a photograph. They are much more skittish then the turkey vultures.

.. and thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed this one! :)
