Riding today's thermals

On 08/08/2025 09:32 am by Randy Strauss | Walnut Creek Lake, Nebraska

While birding on a cloudless morning a shadow formed from directly above me, so naturally I looked up. With a wing span of about six feet, this guy was hard to miss. Vultures love hot days and the thermals the heat creates; this guy circled over me for quite a while.
