Buzzard enjoying meal of wild possum

Any day you're driving in to work and a buzzard lets you get multiple shots of him, you know you're starting off good. My only regret is that I can't afford a $1,000 lens to get really good shots of these shy birds.





These things can't avoid me forever. Someday I will get that good closeup of a turkey vulture in the wild.
Black vultures are more aggressive than turkey vultures, so maybe they won't be so shy if they move into this region. I just hope they don't drive the turkey vultures out when they get here.
