how the heck did you manage this, this made me laugh and I would be expecting this to be higher, a rare shot to be seen

Great find!!
And I thought the title fit was great - vultures being scavengers that feed on dead animals and all. I just wish they had posed on something more "picturesque " :)

ok... I actually like the wingspans... it has a theatrical feel like a chorus line... even though vultures it has a fun-feel to me.

Amazing pic, love the symmetry, but seems to not fit your title well.
