The Buzzard for the masterpiece group ! .......... I consider this to be a MASTERPIECE because this certainly is a tough shot to make for sure’ the speed of these birds makes them a differcult subject. The DOF and the composition is good I was very pleased to capture this beautiful bird with that “V” shape to the wings and at the same time looking directly at me as a result I think I caught this Buzzard in perfect timing’ so I personally think this will be extremely hard to beat and in my opinion a awesome capture ! My passion for art starts right here with such an inspiring capture and my love for wildlife this is to me what drives my photography to the edge of perfectionism’ so there for helps me and others to understand what a wonderful planet that we all live and share… There’s room for us all, from animals to man peace I say” and Iet’s pray to God’ It stays that way… Description: This bird of prey, being large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding it will often hold its wings in a shallow ‘V’. It is variable in colour from all dark brown to birds with pale heads and breasts, all have dark wingtips and an unbanded tail. jdmphotography

The Turkey Vulture, Cathartes aura, also known in North America as the Turkey Buzzard (or just “buzzard”), is a bird found throughout most of the Americas. One of three species in the genus Cathartes, in the family Cathartidae, it is the most common of the New World vultures, ranging from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts. The Turkey Vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its meals using its sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gases produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals. In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets, generally raising two chicks each year, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators. In the United States of America, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. With a wingspan of 173–183 cm (68–72 in) and an average weight of 1.4 kg (3.1 lb), the Turkey Vulture is a large bird. It has dark brown to black plumage, a featherless, purplish-red head and neck, and a short, hooked, ivory-colored beak. The Turkey Vulture received its common name from the resemblance of the adult’s bald red head and its dark plumage to that of the male Wild Turkey, while the name “vulture” is derived from the Latin word vulturus, meaning “tearer” and is a reference to its feeding habits.

Chilean Blue Eagle also known as the Black-chested Buzzard-eagle. Bird of prey found in South America. It is the only member of the genus Geranoaetus. It belongs in the hawk and eagle family Accipitridae and is allied to the Buteo hawks. The Black-chested Buzzard-eagle is readily identified in flight by its short wedge-shaped tail scarcely protruding from its long, broad wings.It is usually possible to make out the generally white underparts with the dark chest-band and tail but you are less likely to see its grey upperparts. It is found in mountainous or hilly terrain where it spends a lot of time soaring while looking for prey. This consists of mammals such as rabbits, some birds, snakes and carrion. It nests in high trees or on rocky cliffs.

Taken at Buffalo Zoo, NY on 12/29/2008. A Canon 50D camera. Best View Larger “Status and conservation / The Black Vulture has declined over most of its range in the last 200 years due to poisoning by eating poisoned bait put out to kill wolves and other predators, and to higher hygiene standards reducing the amount of available carrion; it is currently listed as near threatened. The decline has been the greatest in the western half of the range, with extinction in many European countries (Portugal, France, Italy, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Romania) and northwest Africa (Morocco, Algeria). More recently, protection and deliberate feeding schemes have allowed some local recoveries in numbers, particularly in Spain, where numbers increased to about 1,000 pairs by 1992 after an earlier decline to 200 pairs in 1970. Elsewhere in Europe, very small but increasing numbers breed in Bulgaria and Greece, and a re-introduction scheme is under way in France. Trends in the small populations in Ukraine (Crimea) and European Russia, and in Asian populations, are not well recorded. In the former USSR, it is still threatened by illegal capture for zoos, and in Tibet by rodenticides.” / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium to large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia. It is typically between 51-57 cm in length with a 110 to 130 cm (48-60 inch) wingspan, making it a medium-sized raptor. There are around 40,000 breeding pairs in Britain. Pairs mate for life. To attract a mate (or impress his existing mate) the male performs a ritual aerial display before the beginning of Spring. This spectacular display is known as ‘the roller coaster’. He will rise high up in the sky, to turn and plummet downward, in a spiral, twisting and turning as he comes down. To then rise immediately upward to repeat the exercise. This broad-winged raptor has a wide variety of plumages, and in Europe can be confused with the similar Rough-legged Buzzard (Buteo lagopus) and the only distantly related Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus), which mimics the Common Buzzard’s plumage for a degree of protection from Goshawks. The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale ‘necklace’ of feathers.

Hunger
by Lois BryanFeatured in ! # 1 Artists of Redbubble! April 26, 2009. / Placed Third in the Fine Art Composites Group’s “Texture Challenge” February 16, 2009. / Featured in Visual Texture February 5, 2009. / Featured in Digital Art Compilations February 2, 2009. / Featured in Dimensions January 31, 2009. This image was created for the Fine Art Composite Group’s “Texture Challenge.” I started with Texture 02 as my base image, and put it in PS, hue/saturation and gave it a nice red color. I then added my own image of some turkey buzzards roosting in some winter trees that I took on Wednesday, by extracting them from their grey skies and adding them to the background. I gave them the old levels and shadow/highlights treatment first. Then I added the splatter texture, which I gave a red photo filter to in Photoshop. Last I added Texture 01 after running it through hue/saturation in PS and darkening it. I then erased on and around the vultures, first at 100%, then less and less as I moved away from the birds. I also added this texture one more time, but put it through the motion blur filter. All were blended in the saturation mode, and cut back to about 36% opacity. I flattened, then dodged the wings a little. Lastly, I cropped the whole image to get the turkey vultures in the sweet spot. I probably left something out, lol, but I think I got it all!!! Camera on my part of the deal is the Nikon D40x, using the 70-300mm lens. No, I wasn’t out looking for turkey vultures, I was looking for hawks. We’re in a semi rural area and turkey vultures are a way of life here. My most sincere thanks to the beautiful and talented Vonne (RavenSoul) for her inspiration and encouragement in getting us to take this journey with her!!!! Thank you, sweetie!!!!! RavenSoul It’s 9:58 pm and I haven’t eaten since a half a mini bagel with low fat cream cheese and a cup of green tea passed between my teeth this am. So, yes I AM hungry!!! LOL!!! the original of the vultures: /

The Common Buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a medium to large bird of prey, whose range covers most of Europe and extends into Asia. It is typically between 51-57 cm in length with a 110 to 130 cm (48-60 inch) wingspan, making it a medium-sized raptor. There are around 40,000 breeding pairs in Britain. It is usually resident all year except in the coldest parts of its range, and in the case of one subspecies. It breeds in woodland, usually on the fringes, but favours hunting over open land. It eats mainly small mammals, and will come to carrion. A great opportunist, it adapts well to a varied diet of pheasant, rabbit, other small mammals, snakes and lizards and can often be seen walking over recently ploughed fields looking for worms and insects. They are fiercely territorial, and, though rare, fights do break out if one strays on another pair’s territory, but dominant displays of aggression will normally see off the interloper. Pairs mate for life. To attract a mate (or impress his existing mate) the male performs a ritual aerial display before the beginning of Spring. This spectacular display is known as ‘the roller coaster’. He will rise high up in the sky, to turn and plummet downward, in a spiral, twisting and turning as he comes down.

The plumage can vary in Britain from almost pure white to black, but is usually shades of brown, with a pale ‘necklace’ of feathers. The call is a plaintive peea-ay, similar to a cat’s meow.
