These guys do some great work!
While at the lake today with @grandpa-pepper and my mom, @mama-pepper pointed out some of these to me. The Turkey Vulture is a large bird that helps clean up dead animal carcasses, and this time is was large dead carp by the lake. While the @little-peppers went to play at the park with their grandparents, I took the time to get some photo practice in. I tried changing my location to get some different backgrounds in, which I think worked pretty well. Also, I had trouble picking favorites, so here's a photo dump! Enjoy!
CREEPY BIRDS IN CREEPY TREES
I'm not sure why these particular birds always seem to hang out in old, dead, creepy trees, but they sure seem to. Such was the case today. After they got scared away from their lunch, up to the dead trees they went!
FLY AWAY!!!
I managed to snap a few photos of them in flight too. These were more difficult, and they were flying away, but they still turned out pretty well. Here are a couple more.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…

Good way of seing the bird.
They are everywhere.
I saw them one day devouring a dead squirrel.

Turkey Vultures aka TV's are very common throughout their range, and are often seen in congregations at a carcass. They have been shown to have a powerful sense of smell.

it may be a very comfortable place he stopped after he ate, because the place is also no one bothering him.

They sure do help keep things clean. Glad eating rotting carcasses is their job and not mine!

howdy @papa-pepper! these guys do a great job indeed. Here in TX it is a felony to kill them, TX wants those roads cleaned up! this one landed in our backyard awhile back and was joined by several others, they are huge with wingspans about 4 or 5 ft. You must have an excellent camera to get such good shots in flight but then you are skilled also!

Imagine a world without this animal and those like it. A very smelly, maggot infested, disease prone world. They do the dirty work and keep the place clean. A friend of mine hit one by accident and it came crashing through the window of his pickup. The smell was impossible to remove from his truck. I believe the vulture lived.

They may not be the world's prettiest bird, but they serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things. These photos are really good, @pap-pepper. I think I like the ones in flight best. But that's just me...

Not sure why but in my area I have seen more and more of them these past few years. The population of hawks seem to remain the same though.
