At the end of our block, we spotted a few Black Vultures! They were eating something dead on the road. They have been circling around our area for a few years now. Did you know that their pee kills bacteria? So they do not get sick from standing in critters that have been dead for a long time.
They are actually calm, social, and affectionate!

Interesting facts about them. I didn't know. I've always thought they were rather ugly but they look so graceful when they are circling overhead.
That is very interesting about Vultures. I agree - they are rather ugly when you see them on the ground.
Very interesting! They are not the most attractive birds, but they have a purpose.
That's a fascinating fact that I'd never heard before, Ginny. Isn't it amazing how every creature has a specific purpose and niche to fill? Thanks for sharing!
Oh, so interesting, Ginny. Have never seen a black vulture before. A few years ago, I noticed some vultures across the street in my neighbor's yard. I think they were feeding on something as well. They eventually flew off. They are not attractive birds at all, so it's good to know they are calm, social, and affectionate. Isn't that something about their urine?
Thank you Ginny, this was interesting for me. I do enjoy learning about all things.
xo
I am thankful for these rather ugly birds. They are such wonderful scavengers and do their job to perfection.
Great photos so up close and personal..Interesting that they are affectionate ... I guess I don't really care to find that out myself.

What an interesting posting about vultures. I never knew all those facts.
Well, interesting - still don't think I would want to eat after them - killer bacteria or not! lol
I did not know that. They are amazing birds and are nature's clean-up crew. They prevent diseases from spreading so I've heard.
Facts about them that I did not know!!
Thank you! I didn't know that!
I've never seen or heard of a Black Vulture. They are pretty cool looking.
Interesting fact about vultures. We see a few turkey vultures around here.
I'm talking to My iPad. So far so good. They have an accessibility thing that says you can turn on voice access to play games. I decided to try to talk so this is a test and I love this post I love all critters that are ugly and they sure are ugly but they are God's garbage guys and we will be in trouble without them they clean up our streets and roads and yards. Now let's see if this will let me publish
Learned something new today. I never knew birds could pee.
