This fierce looking bird visited us recently thanks to a rotting raccoon in the yard. Sony RX10iii.
Beautiful animal. Nice shot. I think the background worked well on this shot.
Be careful if you want to photograph Black Vultures. Use a long lens. One of the defensive actions of Black Vultures is projectile vomiting and their aim and range is pretty good. You can imagine what vomitus from a vulture would be like. ewwww.
