well, back to the zoo for a moment for next week's Color Carnival. always, if you want to see sum colorfull photos, click on the Color Carnival site on my sidebar>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>....in the meantime, I enlarged the "hawk" photo. can't tell it on the computer, but when printed, there's red around the beak of this bird. 3 of us are now thinking it's a vulture. looking @ my bird book at this moment, it "may" be a Turkey Vulture. doesn't say much about it, but who knows at this point. looking at my very old bird book, it's either a Turkey Vulture or the Rough-legged Hawk I identified earlier. I still think it's a beauty of a shot. love the wing span on the bird. anyways, I'll just have to get out in the country and find me a definite hawk somewhere, sometime. all in time. good things come to those who wait. right now it's a letter to my therapist, then off to bed. it's been another hell of a week. I hope it gets better soon....

Neat shot for the Color Carnival! Thanks for the birthday wishes this week! Glad to hear your son will be back in the US soon. Have a great weekend kbear :-)
We get lots of turkey vultures around here. I will look at the pic again and view it larger also.
I looked at turkey vultures silhouettes and the wing tips look different plus the turkey vultures we get in this neck of the woods are all dark. Check this link out.
