Photo Of The Week - April 26, 2026

 Where I display a particular photo (taken by me) and provide some additional information about it (just because).

This week's photo: WHAT DON'T STARE ME ALWAYS


One of a number of photos of Turkey Vultures that I've taken at Castlewood Canyon State Park in Colorado - surely the best place in the state to observe the birds, and one of the best places that I know of, period. I believe this vulture was perched (appropriately) in a dead, desiccated tree growing out of the canyon rim. Ordinarily Turkey Vultures don't take much notice of people as long as they stay at a safe distance; but this bird, for reasons known only to itself, took a moment to gaze straight into my camera and looked rather perturbed while doing so - hence the title.
