 Wait a minute, isn't that a buzzard? Do they prey on pigeons?!?!The airborne photo reminds me of a ballet - beautiful! Although those trees look like they could hide a hawk!!! :O On the picture where the one bird has raised wings, can you tell if it is landing or taking off?

From what I understand buzzards are scavengers and only feed on dead animals, not our lovely live pidgies..phewwww
The pidgie with the raised wings was landing, I'll have to put a few more pics I have or some landings. I'm very lucky as I rarely have hawks in my area so my tree line is relatively safe. I haven't been visited by a hawk in some time, we had one move into the are but it was very jumpy and every time I would get within 50 ft it would take flight and disappear for a day or so. He took the hint after I chased him off a few times and never returned. All my pics went bye bye, I just increased my bandwith by 100% so I'll be adding more shots then ever.

Must have fixed everything, Pete...I saw ALL the pictures!
Remarkable clear shots! Good eye! Loved the enlarged Avatar... Ole Turkey Buzzard is something else. Where did you see him (her?)...

An adult vulture is really spooky looking but their babies are about the cutest little balls of fur I've ever seen.
Pete, I can look at the vulture and not want one. I loved the pic of the pigeons flying. Thank you for more great pictures.

Pete, (Wizzard of Photographs)
What beautiful pictures! What kind of camera are you using? That poor Buzard he does look spooky and evil. But leave it to Maggie to bring out the beauty in all creatures. You are so right Maggie! Their babies are straight from God. Thank you so much for sharing your talent Pete. How did you get that picture of that buzard? The pigeons in flight are wonderful. This is like having National Geographic right here on P.T.. Thanks again Pete, Feather

Pete, just to let you know that I've "borrowed" your great buzzard, now known as "El Perfumo" (a.k.a. Stinky). He's gonna be a BIG surprise for Pidgey in Alice's Popeye thread in the "sick pigeon" forum. I think he's magnificent!
TERRIFIC CLEAR PICTURES! You should contact National Geographic! We sure have some great photographers on PT-Life!

Thank you all so muchThank you all so much
I just love taking pics! I have 2 digital cameras I use, I keep a Fujifilm 3800 3.2 mega pixel in my truck for those emergency pics. My main camera is a Sony Mavica CD400 4 mega pixel with a telephoto lens for those cute babies with grumpy parents. Mr. Buzzard was taken with my GF's camera, the best of all a Panasonic Lumix 8 mega pix with 12X zoom. I love that camera it takes great shots. I ran into the buzzard having lunch roadside, he was not happy with my disturbing his meal and took flight to the nearest tree with me right behind. I have a few more pics I'll mix in when least expected. Feel free to use any pics you'd like, I'm just glad you enjoy them.

Pete, the pictures of the pigeons are so clear and crisp, in fact it made me want to just touch the screen, they were so real looking! Now, the mean looking vulture makes me want to read and do research on that specie of bird, and will do when my time permits. I have read about hawks, sparrows, and recently on starlings, as they have all been part of my life in recent months. I am glad the vulture does not prey on our wonderful pigeons.

You know the more I look at him (The Vulture or Buzzard) the cuter he gets.
When I first saw him I thought he was scarey, but now he is kinda cute in a scavenger sort of way. "Thats what friends are for" Remember the Jungle Book? Feather
