Black vulture

Wonderful bird image.

Thank you very much, Jaap.

Very nicely captured, I don't think I have ever seen a picture of a vulture in the water before.

Thank you, Doug. I don't think I have ever seen a vulture in the water before. This one was poking at something, maybe a dead fish, at the edge of the river.

An excellent image Ronald, thank you for posting to Fur, Fin and Feather.

Thank you very much, Jeff.

Very nice image. The head-neck feathers (if that is what they are) look interesting.

Thank you, micritter. It has no feathers on its head and neck, just skin.

Thank you for the correction (and pardon my ignorance :) )

What an impressive photograph !
I never would have believed that a vulture could bath ! (:o)).
Do you think that he was looking for some food in the water ?

Thank you very much, Christiane. I don't think it was taking a bath, although that wouldn't seem strange to me. It was poking at something just under the surface of the water, maybe a dead fish. This was a strange sight to me, too. This species is very common here.

great find!
Thanks, have a great day.

Thank you very much, Annemarie. Best wishes to you.

Amazing moment...
