Nice! Buzzards I find tough to get good pictures of.
Happily, Prospect Park often gives a good distance view, so I can see them coming, especially if circling - even so, I often lose focus especially when "close" overhead. There's also the curse of shooting dark subjects against bright sky - my camera's auto settings would have this photo as little more than a silhouette, but happily shooting in RAW allowed a decent recovery.
