Birds > Stephen  > Animals > Falcons, Hawks, Kites, Eagles and Vultures
This is simply a collection of different raptors that I have photographed from in and around my local area and the state of Texas. I had never really realized that there were so many different birds of prey in Texas ranging from the small American Kestrel to the Bald Eagle.

Stephen > I took this photo of a red tailed hawk as it was vocalizing after being hit between the shoulder blades by an American Crow, Midlothian, Texas, April 2007.
Stephen > While driving the back roads near my home, I came upon this turkey vulture dining on some roadkill.  As I approached it flew a few feet away.  I took this photo from my truck as it waited for me to leave.  Midlothian, Texas, Spring 2007

Stephen > I noticed these turkey vultures sitting over a dead rabbit I believe one Sunday morning.  Midlothian, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > The turkey vulture you see here was waiting for its turn at a carcass lying in a ditch off the side of the road.  I could not see what it was, but it was attracting quite a few vultures and even the watchful eye of a red tailed hawk.  Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > This turkey vulture was sitting on a branch right above some carrion on which many other vultures were feeding. This image is a bit tight.  I was surprised how closely I was able to approach this vulture.  They are very common, but rarely do I get this close.  Its mind was definitely on the food below.   Midlothian, Texas, November 2008
Stephen > This is a black vulture waiting its turn for some carrion, a dead armadillo. Midlothian, Texas, December 2007.
