This is the fourth photo essay of our falconry trip. This time its Ronnie and Reggie, two turkey vultures.
Here’s Ronnie. Or Reggie. 
And here they are. 
Taking off….
Massive Wingspan
And then one of them go off to the perch. 
Coming into land
Wings flaring
Touchdown
Settling in
Firming up
Turning around
Ready
Off again
Looks like a WW2 Stuka diver bomber, eh? 
Wings labouring mightily
Fully outstretched
Mighty wings
Passing through
Flaring again
Coming in hot
Claws outstretched
Thumping on the glove
Trying to maintain balance
Being transferred to the perch
Hey, where is my chicken? 
Thank you for the chicken. 
Hmmm. Not very good looking are they? lol
Kannu waiting for the vulture to come in to land.
Check out how the vulture looks head on. Scary, eh? Specially check out the wingtips
Beautiful sights. 
Another perch view
Squabbling over where to sit
On the glove
Im afraid while these lovely birds looked beautiful from the distance and their wingspans were amazing, their heads really dont make them into the most attractive creatures, do they?
