Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) - 14Sep2015
Could you imagine all the rotting flesh that would be sitting around if it were not for Vultures? The Turkey Vulture is a master of finding rotting flesh and eating it. If only we could have the intestinal fortitude of a Turkey Vulture, I could stomach my wife's vegan dishes. Never the less, the poor Turkey Vulture is maligned by most people and its greatest claim to fame is that Zone-tailed Hawks can look like them from a distance especially if you had one too many drinks.
