Ed, the Turkey Vulture...

This is Ed. He's a Turkey Vulture. (I wrote about him for Mother Earth News.) He flies over the house everyday. Sometimes he flies by quite close. It's really, really hard to take a photo of a moving Turkey Vulture with a cheap, Kodak digital camera. The delay is a couple of seconds from when you hit the clicker, til the photo is taken.

Ed is kind of un-nerving to see, when you are hauling 1,000 pound logs with just human power, dangling to a frayed rope, on a pulley--without wearing a hard hat. Makes you think Ed wants some lunch....
