Participant Photo: Feeding the Turkey Vulture

Last year myhusb and and I noticed a Turkey Vulture circling overhead and a dead possum in the by our house -so we decided to put it the field in our back yard. They came, they saw, they ate! We had as many as 6 in the yard last year. So, this year when we saw the first Turkey Vulture we went on the look out for some carrion (road kill). My husband found a dead possum and put him out in the field. Viola! In came the first Turkey Vulture of the Season. They are a real site to see.! (NOTE: If you plan to do this, you don’t want to do it when the weather is warm! When the wind is “right” the smell is “wrong” !)
