Nice capture, His face is much more handsome than the Turkey Vultures that hang out in my yard.

Looking at a vulture tells me a rotting carcass isn't far away. Nice shot!

Wow, that's a cool looking Vulture, much different than what we have here. Great post and photo!

JM, That is the best looking vulture ever. Much handsomer than our Turkey vultures.
Safe journey to you Sir!

I agree that he is more handsome than ours in the States. Looks like he knows it also.:)

Must be amazing to see that bird in its natural habitat. I only saw it in the zoo.
