I walked down the driveway yesterday to see if there was any mail on the post box. While i peered in to see id there was anything there, a large shadow passed over me. I looked up just in time to see a couple of large Turkey Buzzards swooping down onto the road a hundred feet or so to the east. I took out my little camera from my pocket and walked toward the birds and saw that they were *very* interested in the carcass of a cottontail rabbit on the road.
These guys are really ugly, aren’t they? The rabbit carcass is on the road just to the right of the bird in the shadow. Click on the image to enlarge.
Ugly, yes, but an important part of Mother Nature’s plan!
The rabbit carcass was all but gone today. Nature has a marvelous plan if only the freakin’ EPA would keep the f**k out of it.
