turkey vulture

after much debate and pondering, with this photo I can see it is the Turkey Vulture after all. I forgot I had this angle on him. I cropped and enlarged him in photoshop to see his head better. click on this photo to see him larger if you can see his head. disappointed it's knot a hawk, but again I still like that I captured this guy....don't worry, I will one day get my hawk, hopefully more than one. after my car repairs I'm going off road. I just pulled out my New Mexico Wilderness book again that I bought to explore NM more. I'll be hitting the back roads. going to frame this vulture anyways to remind me to keep looking for that hawk. hell a friend who lives near the mtns here too, saw a hawk go up & down the arroyo behind her apartment complex. there's plenty nature and wildlife here. I'll be on the lookout always with camera in tow...

You can see the wing tips better with this shot and I agree, vulture, really cool as they fly pretty high.
