Deceased 'Possum

[bnichols23]

Oh, you got your dead cat & you got your dead dog. On a moonlight night you got your dead Frog Morton. So now we gotta change the song again.

We've always had vultures in Central North Carolina, of course, circling off to the side of the highways or out over farms. I've seen them in town one at a time before, on some road kills. But lately I've seen whole groups feasting by the side of the street on a 'possum or squirrel. Like Canadian Geese, they've become urban dwellers as never before. Not a happy sight, but keeping things tidy, after all.

I'm in SW NC and it's pretty rural here. We get quite a few deer impacts and those buzzards take care of business quickly. A couple of weeks ago I saw about a dozen of them circling and they had picked a juvenile deer clean.
