I stalked a Turkey Vulture

[FinsnFur]

Seen this guy swirling and swooping this morning so I tried to get some pics of him in the air and see how well I could do zooming in on him. Mannnnnnn that was tough trying to follow him I was getting pretty clear pics with a fast shutter speed but I was only getting glimpses of him leaving the frame.
He finally gave me a head on shot which took a lot of the work out of it for me.

I took a ride to see if I could find what he was eyeballing besides me and I found his sought after lunch right in the middle of the road. I pulled over about 30-40 ft from it and waited to see if he'd trust me enough to land and snack on it a little. It was no more then 2 or 3 minutes of low circling before he came right down in front of me and went to town on the squashed turtle. I was surprised he trusted me and the truck setting there.
