New entrant in "Most Ugly" contest. Plus Sandhill,Osprey pair, Duck nesting box has occupant

Turkey Vulture one, of two.
Second T.V.
These 2 were eyeballing each other then one blinked

Now for the Ugly prize.
A winner? or do you prefer the Snapping Turtle from a few posts back?


Then another,closer shot of a Sandhill Crane


and here is a female Common Merganser (brooding her eggs) in a Wood-Duck nesting box.

Expect the hatch-lings any day now as other mothers are getting their families out.
This box was only just mounted  in February this year.


and, finally, a short drama in 3 parts.

Osprey just cruising, minding its own business.
when involved in a "near-miss"
which left the poor thing frazzled!

but unhurt.
Note how its head is turned &  looking up to see where the missile came from.
