Attack of the Turkey Buzzards

[trekgeezer]

I don't know what they were looking for, I looked up and down the road and didn't see anything that would attract them.

There are five in the first picture and they were right above my house.

In the second picture I count 10, but they were down the street.  There are always a couple cruising around, but I've never seen this many at once.

Better check the deodorant, Geezer . . . you know wha they say:


"Old trekkies never die, they just smell that way."

Once I watched a lovely pastoral nature scene in the field across from my house. A group of mama turkeys were strutting around in the field surrounded by a couple dozen babies. Something startled them and I watched in amazement as the turkeys took wing and flew into some tall trees! Than the babies took off and flew off after their mamas!

Turns out: they weren't a group of turkey mamas and their children; it was a group of turkey buzzard mamas and their babies.

Still lovely, though.

Isn't it a bad sign when buzzards follow you around.  You feeling OK man?

We saw a bunch of them in Galena hanging out at an old high school:



I think that's just how they roost.  Those punks.
