A Rest

I saw plenty of birds while I was away.  These turkey vultures were a common sight.

Makes me think of the Hitchcok film "The Birds". Hopefully these were rather less threatening.
Mary MacADNski: They were watching the evening sky as I was and not threatening at all.
It is hard to like vultures...but they tidy things up I suppose!
Mary MacADNski: They maintain a certain order that's important to have in a semi tropical location.

They look really menacing, though probably are just innocently passing the time of day!

Mary MacADNski: They were just passing time and enjoying the evening sky.
Fine shot Mary. The lighting is splendid here!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard. I was lucky to be getting out at this time each day to walk a dog.

Vultures do what they're supposed to do, Mary, I'm sure. Now if the rest of us could only follow suit. smile
Mary MacADNski: They do maintain an order and it's wonderful. I'm trying!

Great picture with a mix of silhoueted and normal view birds.
Mary MacADNski: I got a few others that were ok. Most were shaken by the dog I was walking.

Oh my goodness, they do look like harbingers of gloom
Mary MacADNski: Resting up after a hard day's work in the burning sun, they are.
