Six Vultures In The Sky


An early morning meeting to discuss the day's activities.


Directly across the street, these three can't decide whether to fly or wait for road kill down below.

I am now taking a diminishing dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I believe the chemotherapy drug is spelled "Methotrexate" that is used to treat a lot of things from cancer to arthritis will be used next. I just relish in being pain free.

So I am not participating in Sky Watch Friday just because I might not be able to make it around to all.


I enjoyed seeing your blog post for Sky Watch Friday and I thought your photography was excellent.

I don't know if you like to read or not but if you do this place is amazing.

I just got my first shipment of used books from Strand's bookstore in New York City, yesterday. They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that. Anyway, they got here and I am totally happy with those I chose to read. I had to start out by just choosing a category, like photography, and go from there. I don't know how in the world they can keep track of so many books.

Look up Strand bookstore or copy and paste the URL here: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/home/

That's what happened to my vultures from last week - they went on vacation to Florida to keep you company!

Great captures against a lovely sky!

Sandpiper (Lin) said...

Wonderful! I love watching them soar.

Pat - Arkansas said...

Nice photos! I seldom have the opportunity to see sitting vultures here; most are soaring, searching for their meals! They must have amazing eyesight.

bobbie said...

Don't vultures make wonderful subjects? Love them.

Voz do meu Coração said...

Excellent sequence of photos, with colors expectaculares, congratulations.

Reader Wil said...

Have a great weekend! I like your photos.

Louise said...

Especially love the clouds in the second one. Not sure I've ever seen vultures just sitting around waiting.

Aisha said...

Ohhh! These are really great shots! It's funny they look like they really are discussing something! :D

We have no vultures (well, turkey vultures) and no storks around here. Nice to see them. Thanks for sharing! Mustang Mike

Janice Thomson said...

Love the silhouettes of the birds.
Like the minimalistic approach in both these shots.

Unknown said...

I wonder what they were waiting for!!

Lovely shots.

Happy Sky Watch!

Great shots - especially using those unpopular birds - strangely I used an Australian Raven in my Friday's Feathers this morning.
Excellent sky watching.

I'm not used to seeing vultures in an urban rooftop area.
But, why not.
