Natalie Ann, I've never seen vultures looking so beautiful!
And Stephanie Jackter, welcome back--you've gone missing for a long time!

Lee... this thread is from 2002! Stephanie hasn't come back sadly...
Packoderm responded 4 years later and that's what brought this to the top of 'Today's Posts'.

I tried obviously not hard enough! Or did you use a different Lens!?(Tele) |
The photo was taken along the highway about half way between La Paz and Bahia Magdalena. Because of the early morning hour I guess the vultures
needed to warm up, and because of the road kill they were not particularly inclined to move.
Because of prudent use of the photoshop cropping tool, I was able to create a close up picture. Now if only Doug would allow us to bump up the file
size so that the resolution could be better...... 
FYI here's the original shot:

Thanks Hose A for fielding yesterday's old post begun by Tucker. I was pretty shocked when I opened today's posts and saw my dearly departed amigo
there.

Well, Bob H. started a new thread on pet photos, so all is good. I will post a photo or two when I get it resized. I surely didn't mean any
insensitivity by popping up an old thread started by a late, beloved Nomad. I think it honors him more than anything else. Also, thanks everybody for
all the good ideas.

Natalie, amazing photo, thanks for posting. They actually look beautiful in your photo.
As to the culinary virtues of Vultures. They do indeed taste like chicken. A little gamey, but delicious none the less. You must try them. I personaly
like to use herbs de provance and a demiglase of orange with a mango chutney. Sometimes, if you are lucky, and they have been eating well, the chutney
will already be there waiting for you in the crop. Now that depends of course on how long ago they were eating. Fresh of course is better than ones
you just find laying around.
One of my Canadian friends calls Bald Eagles "Vultures in Tuxedos". Now eagles are a bit tougher and need slower cooking. You need to discard as much
hubris as you can from their innards. They tend to be full of it. I don't know why it was chosen as the National Bird of the USofA when they had the
turkey close at hand. They no doubt enjoyed the aggressive flavors more than more "modern" people do.

Theres a little place south of san dangaloo at the edge of the river that serves some great tacos de vulture along with salsa de sesos de mosca. Try
the caldo de pata de pescado while your there.
