a face only a mother could love. turkey vulture in front of my house, picking up some tasty squirrel road kill. early june.

I love him and I'm not his mother. He looks weirdly cute tbh :)

I stayed at a place where two turkey vultures lived under the house (raised house). They would come out in the morning to relax in the yard and there was a group of Blue Jays that just bullied the shit out then. They just dive bombed them for hours straight. The vulture never got angry. They would just duck and maybe fly five feet away rinse and repeat. I always thought they were, well, vultures. But I felt bad for them. Theyre like bird janitors. Doing a thankless job and everyone just picks on them. Granted. They might eat blue jays eggs I don’t know lol. They didn’t seem interested in them though.

Greater photo! Never seen that detail before.

Great photo! The eyes look so intelegent.
