Description

The specimen flew in and attempted to snag a dead fish that was surrounded by other vultures. After giving up, the vulture perched on a nearby tree. It's wingspan was quite large (maybe 8 feet). The specimen and it's comrades were cawing loudly and squabbling with each other. They allowed me to get around 20 feet away, but started to scatter and become agitated as I got closer.
