Something new to share

[HAB911]

I have added a new link for a “FEATURED” slideshow.

As often as possible we visit a local park less than two miles from home. There are a number of dead pines that are a favorite perch for Doves and today’s “Featured”, the Vulture.

I have been surprised at how family and friends hate this, my latest project, not looking at the art of the photo but recoiling at the subject. I find them beautiful in their own way, and hope you will enjoy these few photos. The next “Featured” will be another bird that we see just as often, in the same setting, the Dove.

1. They are beautiful in flight.

Carried by the wind and currents and not trying to fight them.

2. I saw the first migratory arrival...

A few days ago during the beginning of the last snow event. We got a fresh blast of winter this past week so all the migrating birds are probably miserable.

I'd rather have the vultures, we have a situation where the rock doves are invading the habitat of mourning doves around here. I prefer the indigenous species, the rock doves make horrid sounds and are as messy and ubiquitous as pigeons.

3. You make them look absolutely lovely. That's not easy with a face only a

mother could love!

9. One of my favs

they seem to elicit an apocalyptic vibe from everyone and the dead pines really set them off

5. Aww, I love them

All creatures are beautiful, in their own way. And vultures do us a great service. Love the shot with the moon!

6. I love vultures

I've shot them several times myself. California condors are on my bucket list.

That first shot from below is killer!
