Not a Hawk

On my endless search for the perfect hawk picture - I caught this bird circling over Lummi Peninsula - thinking I was getting good photos of a hawk circling, I was excited.  When I got home and viewed the photos I realized I had captured -

 A Vulture!

 They are magnificent in flight .  .  .

And I was so fortunate to get such great photos!  I love their "fingertip" wing feathers.
