Very timely incident as we celebrate International Vulture Awareness Day. We stopped to get a photo of this handsome Turkey Vulture juvenile yesterday and immediately noticed a car approaching from the opposite direction apparently oblivious to our stopped vehicle or the large bird in the road. Please pay attention while driving and remember large birds cannot instantly get out of the way. Turkey Vulture’s wings span to almost six feet and they can weigh as much as four pounds so it takes them a considerable time and distance to become airborne.
