Unacceptable Rypstra
097 (4) Prelaunch Stretch
The same Turkey Vulture in the drizzling rain I uploaded earlier, switching positions and having a stretch at the same time. This shot actually precedes the other, as it didn't take off till later.
I went back the following day to see if they had started eating the dead baby Harbour Seal on the beach, but nothing really had changed. A large kettle of Vultures were still hanging out in the same bunch of trees on private land on the other side of the road, and only something little had tried to munch on the beached carrion. I suspect some larger carrion was on the property, making the seal seem like a paltry alternative (Pat Bay, BC).
