Turkey Vultures in Tall Dead Tree


 

When I saw several Turkey Vultures in the tall dead leafless tree I thought that it would be not a big deal to cross the wet field to get closer to them. Sadly, there were a few deep streams on my way that I would have to cross too.

It took almost fifteen minutes to find the right way to dead tree and Vultures but I got there and was happy.








I have never seen Turkey Vultures in the trees.  These birds are gregarious birds and they probably spent the night in dead tree.  The tree was in the open area and the birds could easily observe what was going on the ground.








This Vulture settled comfortably between two branches and stayed there for a long time.







It seemed that every Vulture had his/her favorite branch to stay.









Is it really comfortable to perch on the top of the branch trying hard to maintain balance?  Apparently, it was not a big problem for this Vulture.








There were approximately fifteen Vultures in dead leafless tree.   When I was ready to take a photo of dead leafless tree with Vultures there were left only two Vultures in the tree. I missed the moment...

Generally, life is good!

  2. El estar el árbol sin hojas te ha venido muy bien para sus capturas. Menos mal que no se ha espantado por tu precencia y has podido realizar tan buenas fotofrafías.
