Thought you would enjoy this. Not as exotic as an eagle but Turkey Vultures are impressive in size and flight. I was hiking in the mountains and took a rest at the edge of a cliff. Kept having a shadow pass over me and saw a vulture riding the updraft from the cliff. I was wandering around the edge trying to get it in the view finder. I'm lucky I didn't fall off the edge! ( I think that is what the vulture was hopeing for.  )

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

It took me 6 tries to get it because the bird kept moving and I was using a semi telephoto lense. I was bummed that I didn't have time to set the resolution on the camera higher.
You can almost see the bird thinking to himself...just 2 more steps sucker and I'll be eating for a week...

I've been pretty close to a flying vulture before; sorry, no picture, except the one permanently stamped in my brain. They are really cool, and REALLY big!

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Great action shot.....we have alot of them buzzards here.......have drove up over a hill and they were in the road pickin on sum road kill and they waited to take off rite in front of my truck and fly over the hood away as I drive and watch. Really a cool site.......we've came up on them on the bike before too and they took off at the last minute (weren't tryin to hit them and we jus veer around em) and Brad got smacked by there wings !!!! The hills have wings Pam
Brad startled one the other day in the road when he was on his bike and it took off flying rite next to him and was throwing up....they do that when they get scared or startled. He was laughin so hard he bout fell over. And what comes out was sumthin really gross that went in........ewwwwwwwww...............

Beautifully designed set of wings for hovering, what a view it gets all the time. With excellent smell and a set of eyes, he makes a better living than I do.
