Turkey Vulture
May 25th, 2009
I notice some woodpeckers occasionally on a hickory tree in the yard. Birds can be difficult to photograph without a powerful zoom as they like to fly away when approached. I setup my automatic motion sensing camera to see what I could come up with. The light is not too good in this shot, but the zebra-backed pattern of the bird matches the description in my Birds of Virginia Field Guide by Stan Tekiela.
The automatic camera captured this photograph of an American Crow.
