Turkey Vultures....not a pretty bird. Some call them Buzzards. What ever you choose to call them you can't get around it. They are one ugly bird. I was driving to my parents today when I had to stop and let 5 cross the road. As I watched them cross in front of me I got a good look at them. One actually turned and looked my way. Made me shudder and look away. I looked up and saw more flying around. I wondered if there were many dead animals near by or something big. Perhaps it was just a Vulture gathering to prepare to go South.
Continuing down the road I saw a Gray Fox. Unfortunately for the fox it wouldn't be running across the road anymore. It had been run over. One thing that stood out to me was it had a beautiful tail.
Just one country block down the road there were two goats that escaped their pen. They were running along the outside of the fence while other goat friends were still inside the pen running along the fence with the escaped rascals. I hope they didn't cross the road and meet the same fate as the fox.
A Red Shoulder Hawk sitting on a telephone wire caught my eye. I wondered what would catch it's eye.
By this time I was reaching the residential area and leaving the country area I live in. Now I saw the usual road kill which I won't go into detail. Speaking of road kill tho, that reminds me of a cook book I saw in a Southern State once while on vacation. Delicious recipes especially for that road kill we see everywhere.
I had now reached my destination, my parents house where I was going to stay for a couple of days.
More to come........
