Florida Top Ten Photos: #9

Vultures are everywhere in Florida. Both Black and Turkey Vultures were quite common. And nowhere were they closer and more apparent that at the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park. Probably 20 or more vultures hung out right beside the trail. At one point we watched them eat a catfish that someone else had failed to eat. But the greatest thing about the vulture was when they lined up on the railing to sun bathe. They placed themselves at exactly the same angle with wings outstretched, reminding me of someone raising their hands in worship at church or perhaps conducting an orchestra.

  2. They're so good, they almost look photo-shopped. (But I know they're not!
