Turkey Vulture (180x257)

Location: Lake George, CO

At Lake George this winter the water was way (way way way) down due to dam repairs and this winter killed many large carp. Even with three trailer loads disposed of there were still lots of smelly carcases. The turkey vultures were everywhere, soaring low over the ground in amazing displays, but even they didn't seem to touch these rotten carp. I cannot blame them.
