It's That Time of Year

Brush the cats on the porch and leave the brush out for the birds. They pick the fur out to line their nests.

I keep shooing the wrens out of the garage so they don't build a nest again. Built houses for them but they like the garage better.

Maybe you should build a garage for them or a bigger house

I thought this was the time of year when everyone puts a hint of lime green coloring on their cars to celebrate Easter.

Something on the front looking camera caught my eye around supper time. I thought it was a crow. Grabbed the Red Rider and headed out the door. Damned if there weren't 2 black headed vultures hiding in the big pine out front. They were hunkered down behind a big branch peering over by my cars. That's where I last saw the neighborhood stray earlier this evening. I shooed them away, but they just crossed the road and still had a good vantage point. Anyway, I hope the commotion alerted the cat and she didn't become a snack.

As I understand it, both Black Head and Turkey vultures are strictly carrion eaters.
The Black Heads have good eyesight, the Turkey vultures a much better sense of smell.
The Black Heads will watch for Turkey vultures, and when that more solitary bird finds "food,"
the more social Black Head flock will often Bogart the corpse.

With all due respect, nope, black headed vultures like fresh meat so much, they sometimes create their own.

Two Vultures are getting on a plane. The attendant asks if the vultures would like to check their luggage. They respond... "No thanx. This is carrion."
