Turkey vulture
Although they're not exactly warm and fuzzy, I think turkey vultures are kind of cool - unless you crawl out of bed and find seven them circling over your driveway. (Went outside and did a sniff test; didn't find anything).- Barbie Heid

About Vultures and Australia...
Hello! I'm helping someone put together a talk about vultures, and there was one question that came up while we were doing research that has both of us scratching our heads: Throughout the world, vultures play a very important role as scavengers, but their act of consuming carrion also removes...- JessB

Lappet-faced Vulture
Lappet-faced Vulture. The king of vultures, showing who's boss at this carcass. This picture was taken at Maasai Mara. Unfortunately, vultures in Kenya are at the risk of critical endangerment. This is because of conflicts between the Maasai and big cats. Vulture poisoning happens when a lion...- the_kenyanbirder

A sky full of vultures
Woops! I've lost track of the chronology here. Leaping forward half a day, we are now just outside Kruger Nat'l Park. Gazing over the fence as we approached the entrance gate, we saw this column of vultures rising on a thermal. I forget whether there were three or four species: White-backed...- Doc Duck

Griffon in B&W
Normally, having blue skies in the background and not framing the whole bird, is seen as something negative in bird photography. B&W, might help to stand out the expression and details on the plumage of this griffon, and improve this image. What do you think?- Yeray

Four African Vultures
This is a picture I took on the last trip to Senegal. I think it's a good portrait of four African Vultures. From left to right: Hooded Vulture, Rppell's Griffon, Eurasian Griffon and White-backed Vulture. During the next trip It would be good to add a Lappet-faced and a White-headed Vulture on...- Yeray

Vulture feed
There's quite an impressive regular vulture feed at Moholoholo. On the day we visited there were a couple of hundred birds in the air leading up to feeding time. Once the vehicle dropped off the bones, etc, they were feeding, it was dust clouds and pandemonium for a while. This shot only gives...- kitefarrago
