Overnight guest

Yesterday evening close to dark I noticed a turkey vulture had perched in a tree behind our house.  I wondered if he would roost there for the night and when I got up this morning he was still there and posed for a few pictures.

These large birds are not uncommon and are often seen feeding on road kill- a thankless job at best.  Read more about turkey vultures at wikipedia.
