That sounds like an amazing event.... never heard of such a thing! Have you attended in the past? My husband enjoys watching the vultures surround and then devour carcases after waiting their turn when the lions and hyenas are finished "at the table". We have about every wildlife VHS and DVD ever made! If we were in the area that day, we'd probably be there!

We have so many turkey vultures out here that they are not in any of the zoos or wildlife sanctuaries.
