I am assuming you are as tele challenged as I am, not wanting to put the money in glass that would enable us to see their eyeballs. My rationale is that my wildlife shots are "environmental".

Although hawks are more difficult to capture than crows, it's still possible to add some interest.

It sure looks like a turkey vulture to me.

Actually the shot was unplanned... I was in my back yard testing a lens out and the hawk just happened to be flying over, so I shot it.

Those white areas on the underside of the wings are a positive ID.

You may be right about the vulture... there are a couple of hawks that hang out in my area and that's what I thought I was shooting when I took the image, but after doing a bit of research it looks like it may indeed be a turkey vulture. Oops! And it's kind of ironic because I lived in Iowa for a number of years and there are scads of turkey vultures out there so I know what they look like, but I dropped the ball on this one.
