A Turkey Vulture In Flight,Mariposa Photos,Mariposa 2005

This Turkey Vulture somewhere out there
has a mother that thinks he is just the
cutest little thing.
Circling and constantly looking out for
available meals, this vulture made many circles
over my head as I bravely held my camera up
to take his photo and hoping he would not
thank me in the special way that birds can !

This photo was taken hand held with a zoom lens set at 400mm with Image Stabilizer turned on.
There are quite a few Turkey Vultures throughout Mariposa County.

that's a GREAT picture, jerry! i happen to think vultures or buzzards or whatever their proper name is, are absolutely essential to the world. think what things would be like if everything that died just lay there! once i was kicking back out in the hammock and i looked up and saw what must have been a migration. hundreds and hundreds of buzzards going SOMEWHERE. i'm glad they didn't stop in.

by the way, i picked up the papers to file in small claims court. it really and truly is NOT the money because i'll never get anything, but i think he needs to know how i feel. i've talked to several other people and they're all in agreement.

i have a picture i'd like to send, but it looks like it's 675 kb and it's 1800x1200. i don't know how many DPI.

i have it in the picture program called "picasa" and i just don't know what to do with it.

i looked at its properties, but i still am in the dark.
