So, I was on my way to lunch, driving along a residential street, and I saw this very large bird on the sidewalk.

It was much much much bigger than the crow it was chasing away (who flew away so fast I couldn't even get a photo!).

Sorry, I know this is totally gross, but I was so astounded to see a real live HUGE vulture strolling a street in an ordinary residential neighborhood that I just had to stop and take some photos. I assumed at first that it was a turkey vulture, but based on some quick research (thanks google and wikipedia!), it appears to be a black vulture. They're native to the southeastern US, so Pennsylvania seems a bit far north, but I guess no one told this guy. ;)

Perfect title and excellent photo story.It's a gruesome job but somebody has to do it..I'm talking about the vulture. :) Interesting set.
Great set...I got a picture recently of a bird eating some leftover fried chicken...not quite so grisly as this set...or so arresting. LostAspen makes a great point about vultures. I saw a group working some roadkill along I-10 and thought "that's who cleans up!"
