Wild Delmarva

I usually prefer to photograph birds in action rather than perched but I was able to get very close to this Black Vulture. And the closer I got the more interesting this scavenger’s face became. Black Vultures are common here on Delmarva and we can easily see them and Turkey Vultures soaring high overhead. But rarely do we see them up close. This is a juvenile and its “Mohawk do” will be replaced with wrinkled gray skin with age.
