They should call it the bald vulture lol
Thanks John...I have a lot of respect for these birds.
I do approve!
I know technically they're not raptors, but they are included in my mission! (and in my heart!!) ;-)
Done! Not sure it is considered a raptor though!
What a beauty!! These guys are some of my favorite "raptors"! (I know, that's debatable!) ;-) I'd love you to add this spotting (and any other raptor spottings that apply) to the mission Raptors of North America: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
Thanks Emily..beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Gorgeous!
