In the morning we woke to the sight of the picnic tables covered with vultures with outspread wings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brunch-at-my-place#post-1345757 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 02:07:41 +0000 catgirl 1345757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son's class just hosted a golden eagle!

Seriously, I think it's fascinating the role different species play in keeping populations in balance. A few years ago we had an infestation of rabbits in the river area near our home. The last couple of years, the coyotes have moved in, and now we are seeing some of the larger predators like cougars and bears. Those cute bunnies don't seem so cute when we have to grab bear spray for a walk in the park these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brunch-at-my-place#post-1345632 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 23:59:43 +0000 rabbit 1345632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! &nbsp; I saw a falconry show a few days ago and one of the birds was a vulture. &nbsp;The falconer said that vultures are very smart, and take much&nbsp;less time to train than other raptors (owls ironically take the longest, maybe not so wise). &nbsp; He also said that by cleaning up dead animals quickly they help prevent the spread of disease to other animals or people, and that sometimes when they perch with their wings outstretched it's to let the heat of the sun build up on&nbsp;their dark feathers to disinfect them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brunch-at-my-place#post-1345607 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 23:33:33 +0000 MsMaven 1345607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Warning--don't look at the photos if you don't want to see scenes from the natural world.</p> <p>I live on a corner on a hillside. &nbsp;A few weeks ago I came around the corner and suddenly swerved when I saw what was in the street--four turkey vultures standing in a circle, wings outstretched. &nbsp;I rushed indoors and grabbed my camera, but didn't get all of them with wings spread.</p> <p>We have a lot of squirrels in our area and occasionally they get hit by cars. (I've only hit one and I hated it. &nbsp;They run out right in front of your car.)&nbsp;At first there were two squirrels, but the vultures were taking care of it. &nbsp;They did move the poor critter to the side of the road, and later when I went out just about every speck was gone.</p> <p>This has been a big year for bobcats--they come in our back yard--and coyotes. &nbsp;Mountain lions too, although I haven't seen any here. </p>
