Turkey Vulture... Florida's Condor

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at a stop along Blackpoint Wildlife Drive in Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Merritt Island, Florida. The bird was perched on top of a sign, so I opted for a close-up to eliminated the sign from the image. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
