Super pic Carin. I saw a nature program last week where they are poisoning the vultures who are natures natural destroyers of Bovine TB.

Morsel, heck! We want the whole dang carcass! Great compo and contrast in this sharp shot of the Kgalagadi, Carin. Is it anything like the Kalahari?

makes me think of the drawing, "patience my @$$, I'm going to kill something now!" Great capture Also makes me think of lobbyists or lawyers who are looking for politicians

Wonderful scene; the poor tree is quite weighted down with all those big birds. The living must be good to support so many!

Well, Mike stole my joke but he reminds me that lobbyists and lawyers are never eaten by vultures. Professional courtesy. This is a wonderful image of magnificent and necessary creatures.

I watched a documentary this week which showed that so many thousands of vultures have been poisoned by farmers baiting carcasses to kill lion that the effect will be devasting to humans in the end. For example many wildebeest, drowned crossing the river, are piling up downstream and putrefying because of insufficient vultures to process the bodies. I love the photo!

I get the melody from the movie "The good, the bad and the ugly" in my head, when I see these :-) Excellent shot, Carin :-)

Gary Larson cartoon: Wife vulture is on the phone, with her wing over the receiver, saying to her husband, "It's Marge. She says there's some pitiful thing dying over their way, and do we want to come over for dinner?"
