| Hi! This is called Turkey Vulture or Turkey Buzzard (told by its wing and bald naked red head). I am studying it. If it is possible, would you please send a high resolution picutre of this to me at diccidwp@ufl.edu? I am doing research on its flight model and in this picture its tail contract. If you are so kind to do so, please also let me know the wind condition when you took this picture. Thank you very much!! |

Thanks guys for the comments. Funny thing about this image is that it actually has a fraction croped off the top and that is it. I barely got this one in frame at all. The bottom wing is it! I was so surprised to see a big bird fly over head that I rushed my camera out snapped about 6 shots and then the bird was gone. I thought it was a hawk, but to my surprise when I downloaded the images it had a red face! It is a turkey vulture, a site that you don't see to often in these parts. I think I now have learned of a place where they live in the wild, and I am hoping to maybe grab some more shots like this (and better) soon.

| I like the crop, good call going with the horizontal on the vertical subject. Most would not have done this. 8 |

| I think this is cropped a bit tight - I'd like to see a little more sky at the tips of his wings - other than that I like it! Good idea too |

| Great photo of a hawk in flight. Not Sure how it's an unexpected find, but still a nice shot. |
