Turkey Vulture's Roost
Turkey Vulture's Roost
Yes, many surprises await the common hiker in
central Arizona. When I was descending from this
ridge of granite boulders, I looked back to see five
Turkey Vultures circling overhead. They apparently
were looking for a place to roost for the evening.
One of them actually landed upon a smooth wall of
rock I had been exploring. In this photo, you can see the dark object on the south-facing side of the large boulder. I affectionally labeled it as Buzzard.
Buzzard is really enjoying itself on this clean face
of rock. In fact, it probably doesn't even know (or care) that I had been exploring its roost 15 minutes earlier. (Buzzards are the true "vacuum cleaners" of the desert.) Photo taken May 5, 2008 in central AZ
My wife tells me that I'm living inside a vacuum cleaner. I tell her, "That really sucks!" GET IT???
