2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Vulture, Big Bend National Park, Texas, United States
Strike a Pose

Species: Vulture | Location: Big Bend National Park, Texas, United States

Driving to Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park, early one morning we spot this gorgeous vulture warming himself in the sun. It was like he stopped and posed just for us.

About The Photographer

I'm a national parks girl. I've made it a mission to see them all. I am currently up to 40 and am adding the Channel Islands new month. I am not a great photographer because I get so excited when I see wildlife, I often forget to take pictures. I'm going to send along some of my favorite shots, though.
