It was THIS big

Part of the morning crew. These black vultures hang out in the parking lot every morning. They fear nothing and will let you walk up to them. If you stand still, they will walk right up to YOU and examine your shoelaces with interest. They play with the gators, they play with the rubber on parked cars (say goodbye to your wipers!) This past winter the lake had a massive fish kill due to the cold and they stuffed themselves to the point you could pick them up because they couldn't even walk. If you leave a ball behind they will play soccer with it. They live between 70 - 100 years, are full of mischief, and I love them.
