We need vultures to help keep our land clean of dead animals. If we didn’t have vultures more than likely the dead animals would be on the ground longer and that would create an increase in insects. This in turn would cause diseases to spread to other animals and also to people. The vultures eye sight isn’t as strong as other raptors that hunt, but they are great at spotting carcasses. Turkey vultures have a great sense of smell, but the black vultures sense of smell isn’t that good. A vulture can eat up to two pounds or more of meat within about a minute or so. Their hooked bills help in tearing up the meat. They may mate for life. Both parents will help to take care of their young ones. They are very social birds within the group of vultures that they hang out with. The first photo is of a Black Vulture. The second photo is of a Turkey Vulture.

Young Hairy Woodpecker was on a log by the roses when Miss Dove showed up to join young Hairy. There was one small piece of a peanut on the log; Young Hairy says to Miss Dove,” That peanut is just a bite for you and to me it’s a snack that will hold me over until dinner time. Besides that I saw the peanut first”. Miss Dove said to young Hairy, “Well don’t get your feathers all ruffle up, it is just a peanut.” When Miss Dove was looking away, young Hairy grab the peanut and drop it on the ground in back of her. Miss Dove turned around and said, “Where is that peanut that was on the log?” Young Hairy said, with a smile, “What peanut?” Can you find the missing peanut in the last photo? It was a rainy day in Kentucky. Twin fawns are taking turns standing guard and eating grass, while one of them takes a nap. This little bunny rabbit got out of its nest that was hidden in a garden. It took several people to catch this little one so that it could be put back in its nest with the other bunnies. |
