This particular bird pissed me off at the zoo several weeks ago. It was perched on a skull (cow?) that's in its enclosure and would have made a fantastic composition. Of course I had the long lens on the camera at the time and as I stealthily (I had an 16 month old and a 7-year old with me) tried to change to a shorter focal length, the vulture hopped off the skull and hid behind some bushes.
Today, it wasn't perched on the skull, so I decided to do a vulture portrait with the 300mm to emphasize those colors.
