Impressive and great in black and white with the touch of red.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Poe for some reason..the birds look a bit menacing in b/w.
ReplyDeleteI actually like to see them around -- they are nature's garbage collectors! :) Great shot Tanya.
ReplyDeleteBig birds!
ReplyDeleteWe have them all over too. They freak me out/fascinate me. Awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteVery creative shot of the vultures ~ and I think I like them in the trees better too. Yet they may eat bugs and stuff you might not want in your house ~ then again a whole 'army' of vultures? Let them be in the trees ~ Bravo to your dogs ^_^
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool pic!! I think I'd like them a bit better in the tress, too.
ReplyDeletegreat shot in b&w!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine having that many vultures hanging around your place. A fine shot of them.
ReplyDeleteOur dog has no use for them and takes great joy in barking at them, not sure why as they never show any interest in her. We don't have but a few that hang out around here and I think they had a nest in the barn one time.
ReplyDeleteLove this capture! I too get somewhat spooked by the sight of vultures skulking nearby on the ground (makes me think, what's died? Or worse, about to die?) - but they look amazing here.
ReplyDeletei love vultures. they are such cool birds. i know most would probably think i am silly ... but have such cool features. all the details. armor. ( :
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way - I appreciate the scavengers who clean up what is left behind.. but they kind of freak me out, too.. having them around always means something dead nearby.
ReplyDeleteWhile we were just in Texas recently, my husband & sons hunted. The locals there use the birds to find the dead.. "wait for the buzzards to gather & circle.. they'll lead us there." Thankfully we didn't need to use this method.
But as I sat reading outside, some would come flying over me low, and I'd jump at their shadow & yell at them to go away!
Smashing image suited to 'them' birds :).
ReplyDeleteVultures always look so ominous - the way they sit up in the trees, gazing (glaring) down. I don't generally see many, but they are kind of neat to look at. That's a very cool picture - I wonder what they're looking at.
ReplyDeleteIf so many hung around your yard, some other animal was having a very bad night. We humans keep pushing the wildlife into smaller and smaller areas to survive.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really striking image!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a wonderful Halloween shot.
ReplyDeleteVery stark lines, goes with the idea of vultures.
