I am a big raptor girl. Love them. Vultures also known as buzzards. There are 2 types in Al. There are turkey vultures and Black vultures( have white marking on the tip of wings). Turkey vultures go by smell but black vultures go by sight. The black ones are more agreesive and opportunistic. They eat carrion. But they also eat eggs, baby turtles, Opossums, shunks, newborn livestock and poultry. One way to know if it is a vulture. When they are flying the feathers are separated. You can see each feather like fingers. |
