Default Really Beautiful Bird
Now I am going to try to upload here instead of photobucket, good luck, I say to myself. I am also not using my own computer and will need to bring my laptop here to see if the colors are OK---they always appear so dark on this computer in the Internet Cafe.

OK, most people think these guys are ugly, but the way they fly, land and clean up our beach, I think they are beautiful---no, it is not a face that only a mother could love.

I could watch these guys fly and work all day long.

Great photos DianaT, I like to see these guys standing on the cactus warming their wings. They are beautiful. Connie

I think Turkey Buzzards are soooo ugly at rest! In flight they take on a whole new persona....they're exceptionally graceful & elegant looking....until they land again!

I think I need to start an organization to promote the beauty of all vultures. Look at that face---how can you say it is ugly? :confused: Think of what you are doing to his mother. :icon_broken_heart: :icon_cry:

I also used to think they were ugly, but I have reformed. After smelling a rotting sea lion on the beach in front of our house for a few days, I was convinced the zopolotes are simply beautiful. :icon_mrgreen:
