The Buzzard Peak

09-BuzzardPeak-8666, originally uploaded by Kadath.

Closest I've been able to come to our flock of Turkey Vultures / Buzzards. Normally these guys have been very skittish, but today they were down ruling the roost they made out of my parent's neighbor's side yard. The Nikon 70-300 was the perfect lens for this, was able to get pretty close and snagged a few sharp shots with minimal depth of field. I think I see just a touch of Purple Fringing tho!

I've never heard anything by the group but I always thought the name was funny. This must be where they got their name from.

For the last 2 years we've had a flock of Turkey Buzzards in the neighborhood, they are ugly but cool. Except when they are shitting all over your roof =)

Is it wrong to feel nervous instead of happy over the low price of gas?

This was 2 weeks ago, its now down into the 1.30s. It's freaking me out! It's not sustainable and we will probably never see this price again in my lifetime. Will try to enjoy it while we can but there's not party in it....

Pap was a good sport and became my first Strobist style Model. What you can't see in this version is he was just about to give me "The Finger!"
