Peter, Great photos.  The first - close up with the vulture in flight, purposeful look in his eye - is dramatic.

Tim, Wonderful owl photo. Nice of him or her to appear and pose so obligingly.

Cheers,   John

Ken, yes it is a very nice hike, and the day was gorgeous. We just stayed on the trail that day, but have camped down closer to the fish hatchery along a small creek, and the brush alongside is indeed thick and tough. It sure is beautiful country though.

John, I really appreciate your comment. That owl flying in front of me was a wonderful way to start to start a lovely day....we sure live in a beautiful area.

Peter:
Thank you for telling me about Vulpro. I took a look at their web site and they are doing very valuable work.

It was also interesting to learn how seriously the traces of pharmaceuticals in carcasses are endangering the vultures.

The South African NP service strictly enforces their rules that only bones which they supply may be fed to the vultures at the Giants' Castle hide.

Ann, thank you so much. I always hesitate to post anything since there are so many wonderful photographers here, but your comment gives me a little courage  :)...

Thank you very much John and Anne. Indeed, our vultures are in serious trouble!

Here is another one.

Wow Peter, those two heads are really cool.   The image is very sharp , nice detail but I keep looking for a way to crop for just the heads.   The standing Vulture has an evil look.
Many thanks for posting.

Thanks Tom.

I am also not 100% convinced about the crop. But I do think the open wings add an element of emotion? I suspect this is one of those images that work better in a large print than on a smallish screen?
