Thread: Close up

Man, pickin’s must be tough if he had to join a vulture at a dump! Not the normal majestic location! Great photo. We have a regular that transits our model airplane field most likely heading to the nearby Delaware river. Always a rare treat to see.

They would be a rare tie indeed, Ship. Also a mighty expensive one but you can dream!

such a majestic creature reduced to scavenging a landfill makes my heart sad , mankind is not kind at all .
but on the upside it is a real treat to see one up close , great image sir
thanks for the view

Those are some big birds. Have a bunch here in NW PA.

one flew over our honda fit one morning and it looked bigger than the car ,,,,,they are BIG

I have fed them for many years around my house. i have now stopped because of the Seagull poop on my roof issue.

Wish we had more of them here in South Texas. Only seen em a few times. Got some good pics at the rice fields near my house.

my neighbor over feeds his dogs ,this attracts grackles in the winter in huge flocks
then they come over the creek "to rest " themselves all over my truck under my big live oak tree
that in turn makes my wife tell me to wash my truck ....I HATE WASHING MY TRUCK !
so you can well imagine how much I ain't liking them grackles right about now ......
