Vultures don’t bother to build nests. Th ey lay eggs on the ground in pine straw under wax myrtle. Be careful what you pick up in March and April when searching the rough for golf balls. Reaching for the wrong white sphere could result in a shower of regurgitated possum on your head.

Coragyps astrata seldom fl ap their wings while fl ying, instead, riding wind currents and thermal draft s high in the sky to search for dead fl esh. In the air the wings form a shallow “V” for vulture. Electrical transmission lines and poles along the Diamond Causeway serve as rest stops when vultures take a break from cleaning the highway.

Glancing back over my shoulder as I continued running down Bartram Road, I saw the vulture contently resume his roadside dining, secure in the knowledge he had frightened me away.
