The bird I have chosen for this week is one we see almost every day if we look up along the highway. Its the turkey vulture. Vultures are often seen as vile and disgusting but in truth, they are remarkable. Turkey vultures can smell a carcass from miles away. They actually have on of the largest olfactory lobes in the animal kingdom. And, they are large. If, like me, you have ever had one swoop low as it passed over you, you "feel" this bird passing over you.
