Found these two beauties, turkey vultures of course, pecking around in a pasture near our cabin on the Buffalo Fork.

I'm sure their mother loves them :-)

Actually they play a very important role in any ecosystem cleaning up the remains of the dead. In this case, I couldn't see what they were eating, but I'd guess it might have been a (domestic) cow afterbirth or something along those lines.
