I would love to know where their roosting site is.<br />Andrea, funny. I couldn't help thinking about them waiting for a new body to come in but just over the hill, off the road was a dear carcass and some garbage. It looked like some thoughtless person dumped their refuse over the hill. It worked out well for the Black vultures.I took a photo but it wasn't very nice.<br />nellieNellie from Beyond My Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149596937067869426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373570496758480352.post-66357645865650405342012-01-19T10:48:33.805-05:002012-01-19T10:48:33.805-05:00i think these birds (and their turkey cousins) are...i think these birds (and their turkey cousins) are fascinating. :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373570496758480352.post-31215491124181130092012-01-19T07:55:06.417-05:002012-01-19T07:55:06.417-05:00Those are very good captures of how the vultures l...Those are very good captures of how the vultures look! I don't think we have these birds here, but we have eagles, hawks and crows. I thought vultures stay in places where there are food for them, aren't they eating dead animals. I smiled, as a morbid thought entered my mind, that maybe they can dig a hole on the graves and eat the newly buried bodies. Maybe they can smell the contents.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.com
