Just dropping by...

 Once or twice a year I will look up at a large silhouette, expecting a golden eagle, and realize it is a very different bird indeed!

I am not sure why we so rarely see turkey vultures here when they are very common just a short distance away. The first two photos were taken in Cody last fall when the entire vulture clan was hanging out in a tree, soaking up warm sun rays. 

The last two shots were snapped a few days ago just down the road.  He looks pretty bedraggled in the first photo but they are still impressive birds for their size alone!
