Anyone who has followed this blog for long knows that I like vultures. I love watching them fly so effortlessly in the sky. I like watching them eat dead fish at the Falls of the Ohio, then rise all at once to circle on the thermals. I am so disappointed that Eo, our Turkey Vulture at Raptor Rehabilitation of Kentucky, does not seem to like me, but knowing he can send you to the hospital for stitches when he bites, I have wisely chosen not to press the issue with him. Any time I see vultures overhead, I pull out my camera for another photo. Well, today it paid off. I saw a small bird mobbing a Turkey Vulture at Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve this afternoon, and quickly aimed, since the action was almost overhead. And look at this shot! A Red-winged Blackbird is chasing the vulture! Click to make it larger and you can see all the details. WhooHoo!

That is quite the shot! Good thing you had your camera ready and the quickness to "focus fast!"
