Some trial shots of critters. Can't wait to try it out on some harder to find or more unique wildlife other than seagulls, buzzards, or squirrels!!!
Looks like a great lens.
How is the weight.
I think your turkey vulture is quite handsome :)

These were all hand held. Not a problem. Much better than the sport version I am sure. Not sure about hiking a few miles with it though!!

I think so too. Kind of like an English Bulldog, so ugly they are cute!!
Very nicely done, great ad for the lens.
Fantastic shots of the vulture warming up the wings/bones before taking off for the day.
What camera body was this on?

I have a shot of all 4 vultures spreading their wings at the same time. They only did it when I got close so I thought it was a defense mechanism but I have learned as you said that they were warming up their bodies in the warm morning sun after a chilly night.
