report
Spotted a vulture in Birds hIll Park today harassing a family of crows. It was just across the road from the picture of crows playing leap frog. Hopefully the parents diverted the vulture away from the nest. Picture was taken directly into the sun which gives it the very eerie mood.

Good one the tree realy adds to it
The vulture on a dead tree is already a bad sign. In black and white, kind of end of the day, make it more sinister. Just missing the frightening music and the zoom on the nest. Like very much those shot that tell a story. Two years ago I saw the opposite. 4 crows where harassing an osprey that was just trying to eat a fish in peace..
That tree would make nearly any photo eerie, Debra. It sure is a knarly old thing and works well in this photo alongside the vulture. They are both persistent birds, the crows and the vulture. It's hard to say which one would come out on top unless there were a lot of crows, a murder as it were.
Eerie and a bit of an ominous mood about it too, like he's up to something. The silhouette of the vulture and tree stand out very dramatically against the high key background here. An excellent capture, Debra, and your narrative helps to explain the situation.. I hope the crows were able to divert his attention away from their nest too :)
