My daughter moved to DeLand, Florida (a small town located about an hour north of Orlando) last summer and one of the things I enjoy most about her new house is the small man made lake right behind it. I usually sit out on her back porch during the day because there are all kinds of birds attracted to the water and it's fun to watch them and take photos. One day a group of turkey vultures landed just on the other side of the water. I have never seen turkey vultures sunning themselves like this and I was a able to zoom in on them before they flew off.
Linking to Saturday's Critters, Camera Critters and The Bird D'Pot.

they have beautiful wig spreads, we see them everywhere here but I have only seen their wings spread in the sky, never on the ground. they are so ugly they are cute to me. and we need them, they keep our streets clean.. great shots of then sunning
Nice photos
...they are very pretty, but they are very important for the environment.
I live near Deland and love this part of the state. We sure see a lot of these big birds around! Your daughter probably sees a nice variety on the water!
Such fun shots of these critters.
wow sunning
Hello,
They do look huge with their wing spread open. They are important birds to have around. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend.
That was great to see, never saw any when I visited
I love to see them soaring in the sky!
They're written off by some as ugly, but I find them quite distinctive.
Their wing span is amazing, great pictures here Lois.
All the best Jan
Great pictures, and this looks like the spot to be!
Great photos!
We have lots of them here (MS), but always interesting to see.
I love seeing them fly!
Wow incredible images Lois!
I'm happy you decided to stop by I'd Rather B Birdin today and take time to share your link! Thanks.
Great photos of the turkeys, have never seen them that way either.
Now we know where the Miami Beach for Turkey Vultures must be!
São umas aves imponentes.
Um abraço, bom Domingo.

I think I've seen them before
Are those small turkeys? We don´t have them here I only see the "fat" ones on TV for Thanksgiving...
Beautiful ones, they are!
Eesh!
That's quite a wing span there Lois, super shots, it reminded me of the cormorants, they spread their wings like this to dry in the sun also ✨
What a great location ....turkey vultures are a little bit better looking than the ones we see here, which are just plain black with bald heads. When they spread their wings they remind me of witches flying.
great shots of these birds!!!
Wow, great snapshots !
My contribution
Great series of pictures of a truly wonderful bird. I have a sweat shirt with a hand painted picture of a Turkey Vulture on it.
