Watched a turkey vulture fly today.
I sat for a time today and watched one of the local turkey vultures fly around a field. They have a six foot wing span so they are a majestic bird; they glide through the air only flapping their wings when needed. When they do flap their wings it is a low whooshing sound.
You have reminded me of the day one was hit by a car in my area. I mustve drawn the short straw that morning at coffee, because I was instructed to go rescue it.
As it emptied it's entire digestive system on me, I realized the stories I had heard were true. Vulture got to sit in his crate, while I showered and changed clothes. I figured he didn't have anything more to hurl at me from any of it's body orofices, so I would have time to get him settled and I could stay reasonably clean for a short while.
