Just close your eyes and soak up the warmth of the sun:

Turkey vultures look imposing, even with all that flight hardware tucked away:

However, I think this is a low-status bird, because those splashes on the left wing look a lot like bird crap…
Taken with the DSC-H5, zoomed all the way tight with the 1.7× teleadapter, handheld on a lovely sunny day.
Update: Because I write these posts a few days in advance of their appearance, I didn’t know yesterday’s weather would look like this:

Enjoy the sun while it shines!
