squonk 40,741 #1 Posted August 11, 2012 I live in a small village. sitting on my back porch eating breakfast I see about 30 large birds flying in. At first I thought they were crows but after watching them land I realized they weren't. I got my binoculars and saw that they were beady-eyed Turkey buzzards. About 10 of them ended up in the top of my neighbor's tree. By the time I got a chance to take a pic there were only 2 left. They are hard to see but they are in the top of the tree right above the American Flag. Mangy flea bitten varmint critters! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were flying in the direction opposite a KFC! :ROTF: Here where I live I see buzzards every day, and quite often in large packs circling. You can shoot one, and his buddies will fly down, and clean up the mess for ya! Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
