Brother-in-law hooked it at 10:30 am Friday, presumably after fishing at least a little while. She shot it at 5 am on Saturday, then came the described difficulty getting back to their take-out point. So the family, 2 girls and 3 guys spent about 24 hrs in that 17 ft boat, most of it attached to a recalcitrant gator. Can't wait for the encore.

Is that a Condor, or a vulture?

It's a turkey buzzard.
Apparently, he's shopping for roadkill: Quote:

The best view I ever had of a Turkey Vulture was in SD when I was driving from Hot Springs to Edgemont.
It was in the road, presumably scavenging, and showed a marked reluctance to fly as I approached. I slowed right down and off he went in his own time, affording me a wonderful view. It was what is known in ornithological circles on this side of the Atlantic as a big bugga.

I saw a road kill bald eagle recently. They love the scraps of dead critters so I guess it makes sense. (shitloads of bald eagles around here now so don't freak out.)

Used to see a lot of vultures when we fished in southern Delaware. They were especially dense around the big chicken farms of Purdue and Tyson. If they were eating roadkill and saw us coming, they would waddle to the shoulder of the road and glare at us while we went by. I always thought if they could they would fold their wings like an angry schoolmarm folds her arms.

Yesterday, on my way home, I saw like ten or more buzzards circling over the old folks home down the road.
Had a private chuckle at that.
