The perception is that they're ugly or gross or creepy which is a total disservice! Even Charles Darwin called them a 'disgusting bird' & I'm just NOT HAVING IT. Vultures are absolute stars of the natural world! Here on Vancouver Island our stars are turkey vultures! They fill a VITAL ecological niche as the ultimate scavengers; cleaning up our ecosystems & stopping disease from spreading. We spotted this vulture up in the tree canopy, which is an unusual place to spot them in this area! It must have been feeding on a dead squirrel we spotted later, and just waiting in the tree for some quiet!
