Cathartes aura the Turkey Vulture.

I photographed Squirtsy at a raptor event in Fontenelle Forest.  She was such a character I knew I would draw/paint her!  This portrait was done in graphite.  Now you can have a giclée print of this cheeky girl to hang in your home or office!

Smooth Fine Art, Moab Entrada Bright White 290 gsm, 21.5 mil, archival:

Did You Know?

• Horaltic Pose This is when turkey vultures stand with their wings spread out in the sunshine. This pose is used not only to warm the turkey vulture up, but also helps to clean their feathers!
• Nests Turkey Vultures do not build nests. Instead they lay their eggs on the ground. Both parents incubate the eggs.
• Self Defense When a Turkey Vulture feels threatened they will vomit at the threat.
