RE: Turkey Vultures & Transformation of Thought
Oh - these guys are always circling the highways around here. I've seen them my whole life. But it wasn't until last year that I saw a couple up close, on the ground. They were feeding on a bit of roadkill on a back-road that was just too good to abandon. And man, they sure are ugly/cute. They look like someone squashed a turkey and then stuck on the ugliest head you can imagine (and turkey's aren't good looking to begin with).
They also look a bit like elderly insurance salesmen, waddling about in ratty suits. Only they're much better for the environment.
Sorry to hear you're feeling low. This winter has overstayed its welcome by a long-shot, and it's hard to overcome the feeling that it'll never change. But it will.
HAHA I love your descriptions LOL 'waddling about in ratty suits' awwww....the poor creatures...makes me love em even more, so misunderstood. Like crows! We had millions of them where I grew up and everyone hated them, their cawing and their garbage eating, and I was so enamoured when I learned they are one of the smartest animals on EARTH! And there is so much we don't even know about them still!
Yeah, the crows really are crazy smart. I love the seagulls too - the fact that they're opportunistic and will eat just about anything. Plus it's fun to watch them dropping shellfish on the rocks.
Why is it that when there are a lot of an animal, people suddenly find it less interesting?
Yea hahhahaaa, yet we never seem to find ourselves uninteresting ...!! hahaaa!!
Hah! Laugh of the day!
