Riding to the gym this morning, I really thought about bringing along a proper camera. I wish I had. It's not every day you see vultures in suburban Bedford. Turkey Vultures to be specific. Often known as buzzards.Riding home, I happened to notice one picking through some garbage that had been set out at the curb. I got out my cruddy cell phone camera and missed it in three shots, at which point it flew up to the roof. At that point, I noticed it had a companion. I think the two of them weren't thrilled about a cyclist taking their pictures.
Cool! I see turkey vultures all the time around here, although usually not in town. A lot of people think they're gross, and they're probably right, but I love watching them soar.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a little ominous when they start circling over you while you're riding, though.
Why are they hanging out in suburbia?
ReplyDeleteI am used to seeing them in the wooded areas outside the city, usually!
If they were hanging out where I live, I would think they are spying for the HOA...
Peace :)
