International Vulture Awareness Day Today
(2)Every year in March our vultures return to the derelict tobacco barn to nest. Here’s some photos from this year.
My Syphilitic Aunt, a Shandean and Southern Gothic presence in my childhood, warned me several times never to stand beneath a vulture’s nest. The young will vomit upon any intruder they perceive as a threat. So I am always very circumspect when our Turkey Buzzards are nesting.
