Neighborhood Birds


On Wednesday, with all of the traffic going down to the beach, somebody managed to run over a possum right across the street from us. It was vaguely funny watching people cringe away from the little furry corpse as they walked down to see the fireworks that evening. Especially one kid who was being a total whiny pain to his parents, then turns around, sees it, and screams. I wonder how many people tripped over the damn thing going home in the dark?

The next morning we had the clean-up crew out here taking care of it. Coragyps atratus - Black Vulture. Unusual to see vultures in our yards, and when you do it's usually a Turkey vulture.
