Turkey Vulture Pictures

[whistlepig]

About 30% of the vultures in our area are black vultures. The rest are turkey vultures. The farmers around here don't like the black vultures. They are known to kill newborn lambs and calves.

Great pictures! I've never seen them on the ground around here before.

When the sun comes up I'm going to try to get some pictures of them in the trees behind my house, assuming they're there in the morning. In the mean time, here's another picture.

Here is one I took on horseback, looking down at it!



At Devils Den State Park, Arkansas.

The black vultures are the most common in this area. They love the power poles that cross my property.

Yep, we are not allowed to "see" a turkey vulture (buzzard) until March 15 - Hinckley Buzzard Day. Avoid driving through Hinckley on that Sunday - March 17 this year.

And that St. Pats Day too.
