Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura)
Author's comments:
Bien temprano en la mañana empezando a acicalarse las plumas y tomar los primeros rayos de sol para calentarse y alzar vuelo.
Debió de ser un rezagado que lo tomo por sorpresa la noche, porque primera vez que en esta locación amanece un individuo de la especie.
De hecho los residentes habituales tuvieron una mañana alborotada defendiendo sus espacios entre ellos una pareja de Glaucidium brasilianum que han de tener su segunda nidada en este sitio y las ya habituales de siempre los Ara severus.
