Turkey vultures, the most widely distributed and abundant scavenging birds of prey on the planet, are found from central Canada to the southern tip of Argentina, and nearly everywhere in between. In the United States we sometimes call them buzzards; in parts of Mexico the name is aura cabecirroja, in Uruguay jote cabeza colorada, and in Ecuador gallinazo aura. A huge bird, the turkey vulture is a familiar sight from culture to culture, in both hemispheres. But despite being ubiquitous and recognizable, the turkey vulture has never had a book of literary nonfiction devoted to it - until Vulture. Floating on six-foot wings, turkey vultures use their keen senses of smell and sight to locate carrion. Unlike their cousin the black vulture, turkey vultures do not kill weak or dying animals; instead, they cleanse, purify, and renew the environment by clearing it of decaying carcasses, thus slowing the spread of such dangerous pathogens as anthrax, rabies, and botulism. The beauty, grace, and important role of these birds in the ecosystem notwithstanding, turkey vultures are maligned and underappreciated; they have been accused of spreading disease and killing livestock, neither of which has ever been substantiated. Although turkey vultures are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which makes harming them a federal offense, the birds still face persecution. They've been killed because of their looks, their odor, and their presence in proximity to humans. Even the federal government occasionally sanctions "roost dispersals," which involve the harassment and sometimes the murder of communally roosting vultures during the cold winter months. Vulture follows a year in the life of a typical North American turkey vulture. By incorporating information from scientific papers and articles, as well as interviews with world-renowned raptor and vulture experts, author Katie Fallon examines all aspects of the bird's natural history: breeding, incubating eggs, raising chicks, migrating, and roosting. After reading this book you will never look at a vulture in the same way again.

As Grand Daddy Longshanks landed, he was greeted by Buz and Uz, two young buzzards. "You left us slim pickings on that deer this afternoon," Buz grumbled. "I called you down when I was done," GD replied. He flapped his wings once more and then settled them down against his body. "You know the way we do things." He nodded sagely. "You've got to learn to hunt better." "Aw, old man, we'll catch on by the time we're your age," Buz responded. "I bet you weren't so good when you were just a teenager." "Maybe not, but I learned fast," GD said, nodding his red head with its white bumps. "Anyway, now it's time for my radio programs, so you hush up. Or you can move over where those others are." He gestured with a jerk of his head toward the other corners of the tower where some of their kind were perched and more were lazing in. Buz demanded, "What do you want to know about people for? Aren't they the ones who are always trying to scare us off this tower?" GD didn't reply but hopped over to a wire connecting a cable to the antennas. He placed both his feet on the wire. As the connection was completed and his body made the circuit, the voice on the radio came through to him, loud and clear, but only to him.
