Big Ugly

He sure is a face only a mother could love. I spotted a majestic bald eagle in this exact same spot a few days earlier, but naturally, it ghosted me before I could snap a photo. This guy, however, had absolutely no shame and posed for the camera like a supermodel.

Mr Ugly

Teresa photographed this Turkey Vulture last week. I still find them ugly but such beautiful flyers but down right ugly.

Duck … Incoming 💩

No, it's not a duck, but I was concerned about incoming bombs from overhead.
