Behold the headless cormorant.



A few weeks ago my SO sent me some pictures of the turkey vultures circling near the field where he was playing baseball over the weekend. He joked that the players most out of shape should be wary.

He said the vultures hung around the whole afternoon. I guess they were sure of pickings ahead!

A rare breed, the headless cormorant. I'm glad you got a glimpse of it!

[yourlibrarian]

A stroke of luck to be sure!

There was a small house just at the edge of the woods that my brother and I used to drive past on the way to work. One morning the roof was lined with turkey vultures. We couldn't decide if, coming out and seeing that, you'd promptly go back inside the house or get as far away as possible. LOL

Great pics for the day, indeed!

Haha, yeah, that would give one pause alright.

"Behold the headless cormorant" sounds like the beginning of a scary poem. Great shots!

Thanks!

Behold the headless cormorant,
Who hunts by river banks,
He’ll snatch your eyes, take to the skies,
And surely call back “thanks!”

Bravo!

Heee, great!
