Note to Self: Always Have Camera With You!

See that nice big black Black Vulture in the photo below. Yeah neither can I :). That's why I added the little caption so you could see it better. Last night while Donna and I were walking around the neighborhood we happened upon several Black and Turkey Vultures in a section of the neighborhood where they haven't started any construction yet. If I had a camera, even a pocket point and shoot I would have been able to get a better picture. I was pretty amazed at how close we were able to get before this one started giving us the evil eye. Donna took the picture below using her cellphone. So learn from my mistake -- always have a camera with you!

Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus). Donna took this photo as we were about to get onto I-95 North. We had spent the day Geocaching in and around the Savannah, GA area and were heading home. We had seen some Black Vultures on the side of the road earlier but there was too much traffic for us to try and stop and get a shot. Fortunately traffic was light and she was able to get the shot using her Rebel T2i and Canon 70-200 f/4L lens.
