So strange, as we have a weird goose here that looks very much like that turkey vulture, but not so as Marian also had a look, and the face is different. !LOLZ
Some nice shots in here and good luck in the contest.

!PIZZA and !LUV

One of the things this bird does is consume lots of dead animals on the roadways. I would think that this might help diseases from spreading if the animal were to lay there and rot.

Oh yes, we also have vultures here, and I posted some a long time ago. Sadly, they have become endangered due to poisoning, and many die when they strike the high power cables, on the steel towers. I was a national manager at a company, and we used to refurbish the towers across the country. Many days we had to remove dead vultures and even some eagles from the tops of the towers.

Blessings and !BEER

Many times man doesn't think of the effects of what they are doing until it's too late.

@splatts is a lineman and he runs across the same thing quite often with birds nesting in the electrical towers, sometimes even blowing out the transformer.

Thanks for the beer, my friend.

So true and our endangered list is growing by the day.

Yep! Linesmen know all about it and it is a sad affair.

Now I don't want to get you intoxicated, so here's a !PIZZA to absorb the alcohol !LOLZ
