Feathers, Rubber, and a Hitchhiking Tale - A Bizarre Encounter in the Florida Everglades!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by David Tipling, we witness an unconventional method employed to protect parked cars from mischievous Black Vultures. With a touch of dark humor and ingenuity, a Turkey Vulture carcass is strung up like an eerie scarecrow in the car park at Anhinga Trail. As nature's clean-up crew takes center stage, it seems these resourceful birds have developed a peculiar taste for rubber! Determined to prevent any further "car-stripping incidents" park authorities have resorted to this unusual deterrent. Who knew vultures could be so fashion-forward? The juxtaposition of these feathered scavengers against the backdrop of serene Everglades creates an intriguing contrast. While they may appear menacing with their sharp beaks and piercing gaze, let's not forget that these avian creatures play an essential role in maintaining ecological balance.
