23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
A turkey vulture feasting on a fish head
I captured this photo in August of 2025. I was at Esquimalt Lagoon Vancouver island and saw a torn fishes head laying in the sand. Above me flew 5 turkey vultures who came by one at a time to tear pieces of the head off one by one.
