Family in the road...
On my way back from taking my cat to the vet this morning I came across these guys on my road.

Beats the family of vultures feasting on the dead deer in the ditch while on my run yesterday.

Eek! I can just imagine.
We have our fair share of turkey vultures around here, though the only time I actually see them chomping on something is when there is a small bit of roadkill, but nothing like a deer, or at least not that I've had the displeasure of witnessing. Still, rarely does a week go by during the summer where I don't see at least a few doing their circling thing, riding the thermals. Granted, it's getting later in the year so they're mostly gone now.
And they're one of the ugliest birds I've ever seen. 😬
Indeed. Lots of road kill this time of year. You can smell it festering as you run past the wooded areas.
I see a lot of wildlife while I'm out, but I can't stop my run to take any pictures. Last week there was a turkey and it's chick just wanderding about. Then there's often deer, foxes, and the occasional... BEAR!
Send a few good ones my way for Turkey Day? :D
Have seen a lot of wildlife around lately, got a few videos of this little fellow and what seems to be their partner, running around causing chaos at night.
Is that a fox?
Yeup, few years ago there was a couple running around, hadn't seen any for a few years. Then I caught that fellow one night, and the next night they managed to set every single camera outside off several times. Apparently there was a den across the road this year, they are either youngsters that haven't moved away from mama and papa, or they are mama and papa and we will see foxes often again for a few years.
