Kettle of Vultures

Sunday, September 25th, 2016
Turkey Vulture (immature), Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 25 September 2016.

Turkey Vulture (immature, one of a kettle of seven).

Chilly morning. Kettle of vultures. More flickers. More yellow-rumps. And, finally, on the sixth day of use, I sorted out to my satisfaction the last of my new camera’s settings.
