“The Boys” seem to like us…..

They appear to have taken up permanent residency in the back pasture…all around Mama Pig’s pen…..

…..my father used to refer to a group of buzzards as “the Boys”…(I’m sure fifty percent of them were probably girls…but they were always just “the Boys” to my Dad)…..

Normally they are only here for “a reason”…..

…..an unfortunate (but necessary) clean-up-on-aisle-six-sort-of-thing…..

But now they seem to be here permanently…..(?)…..

…..it’s a little disconcerting…..

They are just chilling on top of the horse shed…stretching and sunning their wings…..

They are looming out there first thing in the morning in the pre-dawn mist…..

…..and again…it’s a little disconcerting…..

They’re on top of our Woodhenge posts for the buck pen and Mama Pig’s sty…..

…..I’ve even seen them preening on the ground right next to a sleeping Mama and her piglets…..

…..I was worried one of her babies had died and the vulture was just biding his time…waiting…..

…..but no…..

…..as I watched…the vulture pecked at the baby…the baby squirmed…and the vulture went back to preening…..(?)…..

So I guess…the vultures have claimed that whole area as a buzzard-friendly-zone…..(?)…..

They’ve been there around the clock for more than two weeks now…..

I keep asking my (human) girls if anyone’s died that I’m not aware of…I keep sniffing the air…but everything seems copacetic…..

The buzzards must be going elsewhere to find food and eat…..(?)…..

…..but they keep coming back here to roost…and snooze…and chill…..

…..I don’t ask questions…it’s better that way…..

…..I’m not thinking it’s an omen of some impending doom…..

…..I just think we’ve become buzzard-conducive…..

…..and I kind of like that…..
