ewwwwwww.
ReplyDeletewhat were they eating?
ReplyDeleteYum, turkey vultures. Having a bit of road kill.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm glad to see the first guy is willing to share. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was taken in GA. We were headed to something and at the bottom of our hill were these guys feasting! I think it was a squirrel. Our neighborhood squirells liked to play chicken I think! They would wait for you to get really close and then they would run out in front of moving car. All the neighbors talked about it all the time. This one lost! But the funny thing was that these vultures were not going anywhere. THye did not care if I ran them over. I actually had to drive carefully around them (or we would be late), but they did not stop feasting!
ReplyDeleteCREEPY!
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteWhat a picture! As gross as it is, animals are very cool.
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry... but I think I was warped as a child... *Ü*
ReplyDeleteThe first thing to pop in my head when I saw the vulture was an old bugs bunny cartoon...
