Turkey Vulture in the desert in Utah. /

I took this from the Jose Marti tower (Mirador) at the Plaza de la Revolucion in Havana Cuba. I had been trying to get a decent shot of one of these birds for a few days with no luck. This one just fell into my lap, I even seem to have gotten a decent shot through the double layer of really dirty (and concave) perspex. Somedays you get to kick the ball and somedays Lucy pulls it away :-)

The turkey vultures from Cuba I saw these birds flying high in the sky in most areas but to high to capture a image even with the strongest of lens when came the visit to the mountains my luck was finally in when I saw them perched on this tree… Turkey Vulture is an excellent flyer. It endlessly soars with wings held in V-shape and teetering from side to side. It performs infrequent wing beats, taking advantage of raising thermals. / Wing beats and take off are laborious, but it soars very easily. It is able to glide during six hours without any flapping. Part of the Cuban experience… (-:

The Turkey Vulture is a large, gentle, non-agressive bird. The wingspan can measure over six feet. It uses it’s keen sence of smell to locate carrion. / While this one enjoyed some road kill, I watched and waited for incoming traffic . In a matter of minutes, a passing truck had spooked the bird. I got this image of his quick exit.

The other day we saw a turkey vulture across the street from our house….a pretty rare sight here in Estes Park, Colorado….I took a couple of shots and this one took me by surprise…..it was so cool to see him take off like that…..his wingspan was amazing!
-
This Turkey Vulture has just left the beach where it competed with eagles, gulls, and crows for the carrion there.

This picture was taken from Mount Nemo in Ontario where the vultures fly almost right in front of us. It’s really nice to see them so close and from higher up and be able to see their colour on top. / / (c) Jocelyne Roy Phillips FEATURED in “All That is Nature” September 8th, 2008. THANK YOU!

When they fly over the habitat all the other birds and creatures scatter…. AS IS

Chelsea, Thomas and I went for a hike today. This time we went to Pleasanton, that is the City I work for. We hiked to the top of Augustine Bernal Park. This turned out to be a 3.2 mile hike. The weather was perfect (about 70 degrees F) and we were not the only people up there today. From the top you can see the entire valley.

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: /

Turkey Vultures are quite at ease making their home in an abandoned barns. This photograph was taken in Ottawa’s south end.

A rather common site, the Turkey Vulture makes use of Hydro polls by perching themselves up top and spreading out their wings in the sun. Photographed in Ottawa, ON Canada. I use a Canon EOS 20D with a 70-200mm f2.8 lens and a 1.4 tc.

Turkey Vulture

The Turkey Vulture is known to the Cherokee as Peace Eagle, for it kills nothing. Though the Turkey Vulture is often looked down upon, he actually looks down from the skies and knows all that happens on and to our Mother Earth. The story is told that long ago, before Humans were created, the Sun got too hot and was too close to the Earth. The Animals had a Council Fire to discuss what to do about this. After the Fox and Opossum did their best to move the Sun, the Vulture stepped up to do his part. At that time, he had a beautiful full head of feathers. Vulture flew to the Sun, putting his head against it to push it further from the Earth. He pushed and flapped his great wings, and finally moved the Sun a safe distance from Earth. When Vulture returned, all the feathers had been burned off his head. He spoke at the Council fire, saying that he would not be able to provide this service again, and that in the future, all beings must pray for help and use their own heads to make sure it never gets too hot again. At Lake Estes where I walk every morning, there is a group of 10-13 Turkey Vultures. They soar overhead, they sit in groups watching over the lake, and they gather in the Morning Sun to greet the day. I always feel blessed to see them and to find a feather dropped upon the Earth as a sacred gift.
