Circle the wagons vultures

I don't know why, but every time I'm near Cottondale, I see vultures - lots of them.

Today, I interrupted a pair feasting on some sun-baked skunk.  Yum!

Due to traffic, I couldn't get their portrait on the first pass (you know how congested it gets out there), but on my return trip I was prepared.  The two you see on the bridge hopped up from their brunch to pose nonchalantly on the rail.  Later they flew off to the tree, where at one time I counted five, but by the time I snapped the picture, only four were still there.




I'm thinking the Cottondale area may have as many buzzards as Wall Street.  Or a law firm.

Nah...

Edit: I enlarged the picture and found that there are seven vultures visible.
