I will be away from Flickr for two weeks.

Local fishermen were cleaning and scaling some fish, and thus attracted these birds along the shore.
Feel free to correct the bird's ID...thanks!

Caught this one flying overhead while lying on the hammock in one lazy afternoon. This is my second time seeing these birds flying overhead in Cuba. The image is somewhat a heavy crop @ 105mm; I only brought the 5D2 and the 24-105, and I usually don't shoot birds/wildlife while on vacation anyway.
Enjoy and have a great week!

Bacunayagua, Cuba.
5D2 and 24-105 @ 105mm.
Standing the same spot where I took photos of the valley (see yesterday's posting), there were several of these vultures flying over the valley. The vulture in the image below fIew in quite close. I wished I had my tele with me to photograph these vultures, which seemed to be everywhere in the rural areas of Cuba.
Enjoy!
