I didn't know vultures were raptors



These teenagers were fighting over a couple of inches of roof space (out of 40 feet). One would get knocked off and slide down the metal roof- noisy claws on metal , then fly around and go at it again.

Fun shot and story Casper. Love the B & W treatment here.
I'd like vultures a lot better if they just had feathers on their heads......
Thanks for sharing!
Tim
