Buzzards - Nature's Clean-up Crew

This morning I drove up to check on my newly seeded wildlife food plots and found a woodchuck grazing in a clover field. The woodchuck unfortunately succumbed to a sudden injury and I decided to give the woodchuck a Tibetan sky burial and placed it in the open field. By the afternoon the buzzards (vultures) had arrived for the funeral.



The buzzards took flight at first sight of my truck but after a short wait one of the buzzards returned for the funeral services.



Additional buzzards soon returned and the sky burial proceeded.



In my rankings of an animal's net worth, I don't have much use for woodchucks and place buzzards far above woodchucks.
