They perform an essential service by eating garbage and disease causing carrion, which they locate by their acute sense of smell.
Hope you are having a great day!

...not the prettiest thing, but it so necessary.

Impressive birds! And interesting too.
ReplyDeleteThat is obviously the beauty of the vulture pack, the bar not being set too high. An important part of the natural world. I am always reminded of the vulture stretcher bearers in the film Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for V and wonderful Vulture photos ~ thanks,
ReplyDeleteWishing you a happy week ~ ^_^
vulture has such a pejorative connotation!

Great pix Lea!
ReplyDeleteVultures serve well their role in nature.
ReplyDeleteVultures are handsome creatures. I don't know how many times I've mistaken one for an eagle.
