Matlacha Drawbridge ( Said to be the busiest fishing bridge in the world ).
I have no objections! But a high res image would probably be best.

For the violation. Stand in the center of the room, saying Henri Cartier-Bresson three times while spinning. And buy me a bag of Cheetos.
Here I thought I'd have to give up a camera. LOL
Only film you may have laying around - it's worth it's weight in gold (price wise)
Nah, just ship that 600mm f/4 prime Sony GM lens right on over to me and everything will be just fine after that!
I'm sure it would be just as happy sitting on my A1 as it has been on yours..... LOL! Seriously, you are one heck of a photographer, and welcome to the MR Digital Photography section and the monthly POTD!
No Ma'am - but my pictures can be seen on Instagram - One_Shutter_Release_at_a_Time

Excellent image of an excellent bird. I love Turkey Vultures. They help keep the world clean and they‘re such social animals (amongst themselves).
Thank you. We love them too!
We've had as many as 12 at a time hanging out bathing and soaring.
They have the most refined sense of smell of all the vultures, and are the first to find carrion. The other vultures will use them as scouts.

After my father-in-law retired from Kodak, he decided to get his pilots license. He took up a small training plane for his first solo flight from the Rochester NY airport. He was doing fine until a turkey buzzard attacked the plane. It took out the windshield and the radio, brushed my father-in-law’s face and ended up in the tail of the plane. He flew by the tower to let them see the damage, and managed to land the plane in a busy commercial airport! He said owes his life to his Kodak safety glasses with their heavy frames.Thank you. We love them too!

That sounds very, very frightening!! I'm so glad your father-in-law was OK.
I just did a quick google search and apparently the military has done studies on vultures and aircraft safety. From what I gleaned, they don't actually attack, it's just that they fly so high and change directions frequently and so it is more like a kid on a bike swerving into traffic. This happens often enough that they are trying to understand the vultures flight patterns to minimize the risk.
..... p.s. I just looked at the talons on the vulture image: My gosh, heavy safety glasses saved the day is dead-on! I'm guessing the bird was shocky and frightened and scrambling to get away, unaware of the damage it was doing to human or plane.
Again, thank goodness he made it out of this unfortunate accident in one piece!!
