We have noticed in the last few weeks a lot of buzzards—even in our neighborhood. The other day there was a smushed squirrel lying in the street up the hill from our house. As we passed I saw a huge black bird (a little smaller than a wild turkey) sitting on the side of the street waiting for his lunch. He seemed unperturbed at the closeness of our car and waited for us to pass. He was U-U-U-G-L-Y!
A few days later we saw several along a four lane highway. They too were undisturbed by traffic.
Yesterday while we were out exploring we noticed (couldn’t help but notice) several skunks who had successfully committed suicide by the motor vehicle. At almost every suicide there were one or more vultures. How do they stand the smell of skunk? I wonder if birds have a sense of smell? Something else to research.
I also saw several roosting on a tumble-down house. Creepy!
I know that every creature was put here on earth for some good reason. Scavenger birds are our cleaner-uppers, but did God have to make these useful birds so butt-ugly?
