Black Vulture(Coragyps atratus) |
Description: I usually see these birds as I look up. I enjoyed the eye-level encounter at the treetops. Monday I took a quick tour at Aransas NWR. It was windy and raining, and so I kept my camera gear stowed in the RV, but I climbed the Big Tree Tower and saw lots of Black and Turkey Vultures perched in the trees below the tower. With better weather Tuesday, I set out to capture some closeups. |
