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.
