Griffon vultures on Cancho de La Bola, Sierra de la Cabrera.
First posted in 2012 on Panoramio but never on ipertinity for some reason / oversight. Still, better late than never!

You know I'll have to go look them up. We have Turkey Vultures [red heads] and Black Vultures [black heads of course].
Love the photo and your Family comment.

Andy,
Had no idea there were so many kinds of vultures! And I thought [ from those I've seen ] that none had feathers on their heads .. fascinating..

I remember many photos where you said "The griffon vultures are over on that rock way over there." Very few where one could actually see the vultures. Now I would know a griffon vulture when I meet one.

So this summit could probably be called "Vulture Rock"...
3 years ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to ©UdoSm club
Well, it's called de La Bola because it is like a white guano-stained ball of granite perched on a colomn of granite but I can't quite show that from this angle!

I love this shot Andy.................I've only ever seen vultures in captivity!

I expect they're discussing what they're going to do: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGTWmrnPdgk

Brilliant shot Andy - they seem to have decided that that rock is their domain.

As they have these past 10,000 years (since the end of the last ice age), as judged by the accumulation of guano on this rock!

While maybe you would rather be out photographing anew, it must be pleasant to take the time to go back and review your photos, picking what you particularly like to repost here.

I just listened to a Masterclass by photographer Annie Lebovitz, and one thing she talked about was looking back at one's work. One learns from it but also it helps one know where one is at now.

I"m enjoying all your posts - this one drew me in today. Vultures don't have the best name in the bird world, but they are actually fine creatures!

I made sure I was in the shade and upwind of them, Roger!
Mind you if I hadn't been there would have been no vultures to take a shot of!
