Things that fly i

Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 17 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I spent Tuesday afternoon at Klondike Park along the bluffs of the Missouri River observing what I thought was an incredible display of hawks gliding in the stiff spring breeze. What I've discovered in doing a little research is that the birds I enjoyed observing and photographing were, in fact, juvenile turkey vultures. Rather majestic animals in flight; this one tilted for me at just the right moment so that the sun illuminated the tips of its wings.
