We had to go around this guy the other morning...or one of his comrads....
I almost forgot about them, and accidentally turned down the wrong street...then I thought, 'YES! I can take the side street over and see if they are still there.
None of these photos show it...
there were nine of them. Some of them was walking up past the house on the other side of the house.
They were eating a dead squirrel...it was out in the road when I had to go around the first turkey vulture...but they had pulled it up on the grass....and the one is eating while the other looks on.
We have a whole lot of them, they have invaded our city. Your pictures are great! It looks like the one is protecting the other. They are nature's cleanup crew.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while I'll see 6 to 8 of them circling our neighborhood. Nature's clean up crew for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see vultures, I know something is dead.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos. It almost looks like they are posing for you in a couple of them. They have to be one of the most ugly birds I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteSão umas aves imponentes.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteThey are hard at work cleaning the streets. Great series on the vultures.
Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy weekend!
Nature's re-cyclers. It would cause quite a stir if they turned up around here!
ReplyDeleteThis vultures have an amazing lifestyle. That one’s full wingspan is amazing .a fine series of pictures.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures. I love those huge out stretched wings.
ReplyDeleteWow terrific pictures. They may be ugly but so graceful when flying.
ReplyDeleteForgot to answer your question about the rhubarb. Yes, you can eat it raw but it is VERY tart. The leaves are poison though.
What amazing birds to see so close.
