hi stlbf yes happy moms day to those turkey vultures




seagull

A new sight, is a turkey vulture landing just outside my desk window while a herring gull stood still calmly watching. Turkey vultures weigh about 4 pounds and Herring gulls about 2 ½ pounds, but it took more than a turkey vulture coming on with its wings spread to scare this gull. The turkey vulture also gave a view up on a branch near the window and a face-on picture with its dark body framing its colorful head.

Hmmm.  I must be missing some information.  Feeding wildlife, especially bears, is discouraged in Missouri according to the MO Dept of Conservation.
