I'm Ready for my Close-up, Mr. DeMille!

This guy was circling the slough South of PDx about two weeks ago when he lit on a pole and allowed me to admire his er, unusual beauty. I never before realized that one can see right through the skull of the vulture just above the beak.

So, without further ado ---

He's already scoped out his dinner - a recent road kill

He's saying, "Check out my better side please---"

At last, the close-up! Don't forget to note the see-through skull. The ears are kinda neat too.
