This guy was not near as handsome as Chuck, but still pretty cute I think! ...and glad that you captured the take off at least Krista!

I don't think any of us can see a Turkey Vulture and not think "Chuck"! When I see one around the foundation property, I can't help but say Chuck escaped!! ;-)

Thank you Alice and Christy. I will put him in the raptor mission. It is funny because Emily and I were calling him Chuck while shooting him.

Another nice series!! This is definitely eligible for the Raptor mission...even though some don't think vultures are raptors...I certainly do!! (I think Chuck would agree!!) ;-)
