Vulture Heads & British Judges
Well what do you think of these critters? Hot? Cute? Cuddly? All I can say is that it will take more than a case of my favorite brain erasing fluid to even look at these things with one eye let alone two.
I snapped a few pics of these guys at Conowingo Dam in Maryland where they congregate in very large numbers. They are also quite used to humans and love chomping on the rubber windshield wipers of parked cars while they carve their names and other profanities into your paint.
I must confess, I do dig the one with the groovy poof of white feathery-stuff on its head.
Urohidrosis
Euro what? These guys have the great charm of defecating and urinating on their own legs to cool themselves…. kind of an alternative sweating system.
British Judges
Oh wait, you thought these pictures were of the American Black Vulture? No…. heck no… a common mistake. These are a gaggle of British judges.
