Turkey Vultures

So this is for Debbie. See, I do love you.


Soooooo we have a rat problem again. Stupid Montgomery Village. But the exterminator came today and he put out traps in the house and bait in the back yard. Hopefully the rats will realize this is not a safe place.


Yesterday morning I looked out the back door and saw a turkey vulture land on my back fence. I was startled since it's not a normal occurance in the suburbs. Looking into the yard I figured out that it was staring at a dead rat in the yard, and that the vulture had brought a friend. Two turkey vultures. In my yard. And a dead rat. Yay.
