Glad to be back online after 5 days of no power, light or internet -- some got hit by Sandy a lot worse than I did, so I can't complain. This is a Black Vulture banking over the Hudson River, shot from the Palisades cliffs in September. Cropped from horizontal and borrowed a wing tip from another frame.
