Young Vulture Resting
His/her head is not yet real red, and the beak is just beginning to turn white---adulthood is just around the corner,
Here he is just kicking back in the palm tree----so Baja.

How do you find them without disturbing them? Are you a 'bird whisperer'?
Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

Thanks very much to both of you.
I do talk to them, but I am not sure they are listening. 
When we are here, we see them almost every day. I so appreciate how they clean the beach, thus I have become fascinated with them. The more I watch
and the more I read and learn about them, the more I think they are just beautiful unique creatures with such an important role in the nature.
And they are so picked on with so many thinking they are ugly.

Vulture
Maybe when it's a little older it can get a higher perch in that palm and avoid the backdroppings.

I thought about cloning those out, but it seems every vulture around here has them----
Desertsurfergal, enjoy your upcoming trip and enjoy watching the birds!

I only get to my house in La Paz every couple of months for a long weekends, so I'm reduced to luring our locals with sweets, mostly orange halves.
My favorites are cactus wrens for their outlandish behaviour. They are so gregarious.
I think you had one interested in a tomato. Maybe I'll try tomatoes when I'm there this weekend.

Thanks---they are fun to watch. They have such a wide range, but Baja is one of the places they stay all year----smart birds.
