The Week of the Turkey Vulture

Lucy and I took a jaunt to the lake in the hope of seeing 'our pal'  the osprey and we weren't disappointed.


On our usual country road return we experienced our second vulture encounter of the week

The Loretta Young Show
(some may need to dig deep to remember Loretta and her mink coat)
 And then the fashion runway display began


 Then she tried to lead me away from her feast.
 
 
 'Well if you're not leaving, I am'

 
 


Another first atMuldoon

Turned onto our little road one day this week.
What is that just past our driveway?
Good grief, it's a Turkey Vulture! 
 Stay away, 'it's mine'.
No worries, your welcome to it.
And then I discovered there were four of them.

Small limb for such a big bird.



A real balancing act.


 Not sure I'm comfortable with his eye on 'me'.
 
 
All kidding aside, a magnificent bird.
