Many of you that read this blog also follow Florida Cracker (aka FC) and his blog, Pure Florida (see Reference Links below). He recently posted about rescuing a vulture and trying to find a wildlife rehab facility open over the holiday. It was the first time I'd ever given much thought to what a vulture must smell like, given its favorite food - road kill. You'll want to read FC's clever post to find out, but don't do it while eating dinner. Gotta love a guy that will go out of his way to help a vulture! (Photo by Jim Angy. Note that this is a turkey vulture. The one FC and his dog, Bear, rescued was a black vulture. )
The "vulture" in this photo overlooks my dining room table. Her name is I-Lean. I got her from a Martha Steward catalog (pre-jail, so it's been about 8 years ago). I-Lean gets a little santa hat and a stocking with a toy mouse in it for Christmas. The good part is that she fits right in with the current wetlands decor. Actually, she fits right in with any decor - vultures are like that.Reference Links

vultures do get a bad rap , but are one of floridas native species kudos to the rescuer
I agree with all that you tell about buzzards and it is very interesting. Your wall piece sure shows your artistic talent with amazing humor.
