Is there something you aren't telling me?

I am a healthy 25+ and, Alright, 35+, and I feel just great.  OK OK< my mind is 35, but my body is slightly over the Hill.  (I just don't remember seeing the hill.)

I was out in the yard doing some light chores and I see this Turkey Vulture flying overhead.  He has been around for the last few days.

  I quick, grabbed my camera and snapped this piture.  Turkey Vultures are somewhat new to my area of Minnesota so I enjoyed getting a quick photo.

But, then the un-nerving part happened. 

 It landed in a tree in the yard, and proceeded to watch me.  Now, I know these large birds are a scavenger.  There is nothing Dead around my home so that only leaves me to think...Am I next?

HMMM, I think I will do a quick check and make sure all my stuff is in order.

Bill...

I think that the bird knows your reputation as a sportsman, and is waiting for you to bag something for them!

It was kind of funny that it landed in a tree right above me.  They usually seam much more shy.

Richard...Yea, that is just what my wife would want.. Me feeding a vulture.

Seeing that big bird keeping an eye on me would not put me at ease. Just the opposite.

Hill?  What Hill?

Can't you just picture a group of vultures all hanging out shooting the breeze at the end of the day and getting a good laugh out of all of the people they spooked by cirlcing and watching?

You are funny, I was thinking the same thing. Then you have to throw a rock at it.

I have to say I would be worried looking up and seeing one circling me also, what does he know that you don't?

Leave it to you to think that way.  I agree with Vern.  By the way, do you have everything in order. lol

Bill ~ I enjoy you sense of humor.  That big bird just knows you like to fish and is hoping to catch some leftovers!  But just in case that is not the case, get everything in order and we will truly miss you here in the Rain!
