Howdy,
Out at Minneopa State Park in Mankato, MN (USA), the bison were far from the road, grazing and doing whatever it is that bison generally do. As I rounded a corner, a large bird in a dead, spooky-looking tree caught my eye. It was a turkey vulture!
Apparently, I caught his eye, as well. He seemed to be studying my old truck, probably thinking "that thing's done for, but it doesn't look tasty." He's probably right.
I don't know what he was looking down at, here, but he studied the ground for awhile. Maybe there was a limping rabbit or a sickly squirrel.
After about ten minutes, he turned around on the branch, spread his wings, and took flight. I managed to get two shots of his retreating form and was more than a little surprised to see them in perfect focus. My old camera isn't the best, but the lens is incredibly quick!
Thank you for taking a look! If you enjoy my work, please click the upvote button. Comments are also greatly appreciated.
