When I lived in Tampa, there was quite a problem with vultures circling over the high rises scaring people and defecating on the windows. (lovely images) But, they're an integral part of the ecosystem.

They gave me a new appreciation for the wonderful design of nature, even for the garbage men like your buzzards. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting while I was away.

We have 'turkey vultures' here near Mt. Rainier, and I sometimes see them circling. Not too long ago I counted 17! But that was the most I ever saw, usually it is just two or three.

She brought it to work too. What a experience!<br />Turkey buzzards do what nature intended them to do take care of the deceased. They are amazingly efficient at their jobs, and know how to have a good time.<br /><br />VelvaVelvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034246333318823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864190975528857884.post-47014448460527343752012-05-09T16:21:40.907-04:002012-05-09T16:21:40.907-04:00In the summer when I'm layin' on my mat in...In the summer when I'm layin' on my mat in the pool they'll often begin to circle me.
