Fun with Buzzards

Post by Nighthiker »

Sunrise hike this morning and I noted a squadron of buzzards orbiting above me. So I laid down and first one landed in a tree nearby;

Then joined by two others in another tree;

And finally another landed nearby for a closer look;

Do not ever assume that buzzards are vegans. :o :scared: Just sayin....

... or shot out :o

Although thankfully it never happened, frankly I'm very surprised it did not... I have fond memories of playing shoot'em up in our long, open basement, shooting at each other BB guns no less. : rambo :

While we did have various pieces of furniture & boxes stacked up as fort walls, and we had a few cheap plastic football helmets, we never wore anything for eye protection.
Yup, young and stupid, yet somehow we survived without anyone losing their eyesight. :y:
Ah, those were the days...
