On a recent trip to the Caribbean I spent about an hour watching this bird. It is called a John Crow and is a vulture bird.

I once took a canoe trip down the Shenandoah River in Virginia, and there were vultures watching us all along the way. Creepy...
Neat looking photo. There are times that I too wish that I had wings...
Helping you live your American dream...
Good looking bird and what a wing span! Nature is fascinating. It must of been peaceful watching that big guy!
Jennifer, I wonder what it's waiting to swoop down on....I love birds too...and ducks. They facinate me for some reason.
Jennifer - Great shot of that bird! Being able to fly would be cool. I have thought about it as well:)
Jennifer - That's a neat looking bird! John Crow sounds like a great name to put on the bottle of some kind of hard liquor:-)
Looks to me like he is in attack mode!
your friend in Charlottesville Virginia!
Hi Jennifer... What a powerful picture! The wingspan on that bird is impressive and conveys such a sense of power!
Karen - I manage to get many shots and I will share them on Facebook or Flickr
Janna - Yes it can be creepy, this one I felt was performing for me.
Michael - That is so true
Bill The skies are already crowded, so human having the ability to fly would probably be a disaster. I would not want to be the air traffic controller....lol
Paddy I agree.
Mryl - I hope you are not starting a new brand....Lol
Charles this poise was more creepy
Jennifer, one of the local farmers cut one of his hay fields this weekend and it was amazing how many birds that looked like vultures were hovering around it.
Jennifer: cool John Crow...it would be neat to fly from properties to properties or fly to another town or country and visit... they say some can reach that state in transcendental meditation...great on gas!
George - I wonder why?
Lloyd I am with you, not only would it help to keep the environment green. At the same time it would be a great way to get some exercise in....lol
I have seen vultures circling in the desert behind my house - before they built back there. Kind of miss them along with the bats and coyotes that disappeared.
Jennifer, as a child, I dreamed of being able to fly. I wonder if many of us think the same way???? ;-)
Jennifer, this is a pretty cool looking bird for a vulture. We have a bunch of vultures that hang out at our yacht club but they are kind of ugly. They are a pest too as they will eat anything bright such as our bungee cords.
Renee - Are you saying they made better neighbors? ...lol I don't think I would miss the bats and coyotes
Teri - I think it is more common than you know.
Marchel - I can see how that could be rather annoying. It does not sound like the yacht club is their natural habitat.
