This soaring turkey vulture got pretty close to me while I was photographing ducks in flight. I have seen them at a distance and haven't been particularly interested in photographing them. Late one afternoon, though, this one was circling a pond and creek where I was positioned and he kept getting closer. What the heck, he got close enough for me to see good detail and there was great contrast against the blue sky. The soaring vulture is much slower than the ducks coming in hot so it was an easy shot. The camera was set manually, 1/1250 second at f6.3, ISO 400, 400mm lens.
