so, as I was driving down the road near Podunk Nowheresville, Ohio this afternoon, I saw several large dark birds with nekkid heads chowing down on a deer carcass along side the road. Now, I'd been watching the vultures all through my travels today... they're everywhere at the moment. A minute after I'd passed the birds, my brain finished processing what my eyes had seen. Those were no turkey vultures. They were, in fact, turkeys. Now, I was convinced I'd seen them wrong. I turned around and headed back towards the Deer Buffet. And there they were. Turkeys. I wish I'd had my camera. Has anyone else seen scavenging behavior in turkeys before? This was a new one for me.
