The Cleaning Crew...Was Taking Care of Business!

Had a showing at one of my new listings and upon arrival the "cleaning crew" was there. Not the workers we might have expected.

There was a deceased opossum in the street and these guys were taking care of business. Reminded me of the last time I saw these thoughtful ole buzzards.

Took a few photos of the road kill but decided it was a bit too graphic.

Norma, The timing could have been better. No one wants to see the cleaning crew.

In the circle of life....I guess, God has assigned a job to be a 'cleaning crew'.

I bet they charged an arm and a leg! And they must have been a municipal crew. They were just standing around.

This clean up crew is very quick and efficient Margaret. I've seen them pick a carcass clean in no time.

Not what you would expect a cleaning crew to look? That is a little to close and personal.

I am supprised they stood so still for you. And yes they did do an awesome job, cleaning up Gardenview, during it's home inspection. Those ole buzzards really get around.

Hi Margaret...

The Turkey Buzzards stay busy around here too ... and they do a great job cleaning up what would otherwise be a real problem.

Jeff, Guess looks are not everything.

Richard, They certainly do.

Tom, It looked like a pretty fresh kill.

Roger, And I thought you might enjoy seeing the other photo.

Right Trac, It was a bit close for comfort.

Andrea, Beauty is in the eyes....

Jimmy, I was your home that I first noticed these buzzards.

Barbara, Good point..saving taxes.

Valerie, They do serve a purpose.

Wayne and Jean, The buyer thought it was ok. Commented on keeping the opossum at bay.

Richard, They do a great job. Just wish they would work someplace other in front of my listings.

These THINGS tore up the roof of our RV, scratched up the paint on the F350 AND tore up the cover on the boat. Not my favorite! YIKES! I may have been tempted to try to run over them. Okay... maybe not (since there were clients there!) HA!
