Description
Turkey Vulture Chimney Topper by Debra Martz I was just getting ready to put my gear back in the truck when I saw a Turkey Vulture circling to the west of this old abandoned house. I thought, "maybe I can get a neat fly by if I wait just a few minutes more." Then I noticed its circling stopped and it headed directly for the house, the chimney in fact, for a landing! After getting a number of shots of it making its way to land on the chimney, I swapped cameras from wide angle to the one with a zoom mounted to get just the Vulture and Chimney. The white under feathers showing tells you just how windy it was that day, too.
I stop to photograph this house most every visit to the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge and get something a little different each time.
Digital layers of texture applied to add more drama to the gray sky.

Thanks so much! I like them, too, though many don’t. And they sure do clean the Highway messes!
