Sweetest Vultures: The Flint Hills of Kansas Are My Back Yard

Vultures-- cleaning up after, flying around with a bald red head, eating up the things that need disappearing. Gotta love 'em.

Here is the latest vulture video (not as good as some, but the flying is nice) . I don't think the meal was good. at 34 seconds i thought i saw a yawn, but later was it gagging? glad to share.

A Debt Ceiling Sunrise; Vultures and Crows in the Heartland are Good

For some reason, political sausage making is on my MIND. The pets woke me early to this:  A Debt Ceiling Sunrise

Whether in the parking lot
at menards or on the roads of the flint hills,
the birds of kansas seemed to be mocking the silliness of humans. Projection? Yes.

Although i have some nice Vultures (e.g., HERE and HERE and here and HERE) today i got up close enough to grab a kiss.
 Sweetie!
Can i help you?

--to get this close,
dangle a house or senate plan for fiscal responsibility--
the dead- on- arrival- stench will attract the bird...
