That's a really cool photo…..you definitely need to post it for Halloween! I love vultures. They have such a unique look and an important job. We mostly get Turkey Vultures where I live, but I've seen a Black Vulture every now and then.

Lovely silhouette shots of the vultures, Gwen. Vultures usually turn off a lot of people because of their looks and eating habits, but they are am important part of the ecology. Thanks for bringing this up!

Sounds like a good idea to me Gwen. I don't know how to do the Mr Linky thing but if you do one, I'm in! We have an Audubon board meeting this week and I am going to try to get our Audubon Society involved also.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A great BPW post! I have to wonder, though, why more countries/regions did not get involved (i.e I don't see the U.S. or Canada listed)?
