My trick of parking down the far end of the parking lot at the Anhinga Trail failed to keep the vultures at bay. Someone took it upon themselves to spend the morning shooing the birds away from the cars near the boardwalk, but her good deed wasn’t so good for me. They all relocated down to my end of the parking lot, no damage done to the windshield or wipers though, they seemed content to rip up my roof wracks some more. I have one more morning before heading northward, can I make it without these guys damaging the car??
The vultures decided to have a convention on my pickup this morning. They’ve pretty much removed the padding on my roof wracks, which will make it easier to replace before I head home.
One vulture was good to me today though. This guy was sitting on his roost at sunrise and did a little wing flapping for me. You may recognize this tree he’s sitting on, there is an earlier shot from this same tree posted on the blog.
He just wanted his picture taken.
When will you learn to stop smearing rotting meat all over your truck?
I love vultures but the ones here are falling down on the job, they’ve eaten only a small part of the fish-kill from the freeze. Bring yours back and drop them off in Lake County.
Love your pictures.
