VULTURES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

Just came back from a stay at Clifty Falls State Park, in Madison, IN. It’s near Louisville, KY and Cincinnati, OH. I was impressed by the number of vultures we saw, both soaring overhead and by the side of the road, chowing down on an unfortunate deer, possum, or unidentifiable roadkill. There are turkey vultures here on the Frozen Tundra, usually in the sky near a river valley. I had never seen any on the ground before, and was taken aback by their size.
