Turkey buzzards have red skin on their heads—like turkeys. <br /><br />Those critters look more like black buzzards.<br /><br />Turkey buzzards are ugly, but black buzzards are downright sinister.

The turkey buzzards are a little more polite.Becky Mushkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11833297935575559624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637811618437291981.post-17244993758329330452009-04-29T17:21:00.000-04:002009-04-29T17:21:00.000-04:00Wow, those photos are wonderful captures.
