The adults Turkey Vulture can have a wingspan of just under 2 m. They

are fairly large birds and typically weigh in the neighborhood of 2

kg. This image was taken at a wildlife refuge in southern Washington,

the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. I was there twice over the

last week. Each time I saw Turkey Vultures. Several of them flew

within 10 m of my car and I was impressed with their size.

Its hard to get a shot like this with the detail on the moving subject only and leaving the background soft. I think it's a very nice shot, well done.
