Turkey Buzzard



There is hardly anything more graceful than a buzzard catching the morning thermals and spiraling ever upward. Nor, is there hardly anything as disgusting as a turkey vulture ripping apart a half decayed carcass.
There certainly seems to be an abundance of buzzards right now. I guess this is partially because of what seems to be increased road kill, partially due to deer season and partially due to the beginning of their migration.
I guess we have to overlook their disgusting diet and appearance on the ground because of their necessary garbage clean niche in the environment. At any rate, I do enjoy watching them ride the thermals.
