They don't look like black vultures to me.<br /><br />At any rate, my idea of a good time is to watch a bunch of vultures decimate a carcass. Don't ask me how I came to be this way ...

It brings me to further consider that the extirpation of keystone predators, such as grizzly bear and gray wolves, must have had a big impact on their population. This absence having altered the quantity and timing of available carrion.<br /><br />Not to mention the loss of vast herds of ungulates such as tule elk and pronghorn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-18401462217913778752009-09-06T14:51:49.002-07:002009-09-06T14:51:49.002-07:00Some of those look like "surgical incisions.&...Some of those look like "surgical incisions."<br /><br />;-)Chas S.
