5.12.12 U B Ugly!
I wish I knew why the Turkey Vultures are in my trees staring down at me? They scare me. They seem to settle in and just watch. Is something dead in the yard that I do not know about? Are they a message or a warning that I should heed? I think these birds are really UUUUGGGLLLY! Their large black bodies and red wrinkly faces are really ominous. You can not go anywhere in Maryland with out seeing these large birds eating something on the side of the road. They eat dead things (which is good I guess because they are a form of recycling), but they are impossible to get rid of and have been known to take over whole communities. It may be hard to believe but Turkey and Black Vultures are federally protected by the US Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird Treaty Act. I guess that is only fair if their numbers are dwindling, but I still think they are creepy looking.
UGLY!!!!
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤ 
Why are they circling over the house?
The turkey vultures have been circling over the house today? Do they know something that I don’t? That always scares me.
