The black ones come every spring and displace the year-round turkey buzzards.

Farmers hate them because they regularly arrive at calving/lambing time and *will* wait patiently behind the animals giving birth and feed on the offspring as its coming out.

Nasty things.

Whover said “5 foot wing span” fell short by a foot.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I've seen them eat the afterbirth, never seen them kill anything. Their beaks are big, but not as powerful as a raptors beak. They prefer decayed or very soft meat, and will wait for decay to progress.

Old farmers have been know to tell old wives tales occasionally.
