      He was unbothered, literally the vulture would eat-look at bobcat-eat-look at bobcat, etc. the bobcat was likely inexperienced and got way too close way too fast and didn’t realize the vulture already knew it was there.

    I'm glad that Turkey vulture escaped; I love those birds. They have the best wings in the business - fly and glide so effortlessly.
    When they take off, even from the ground, just a couple or so wing flaps and then they can glide for miles on end and rise in altitude without as much as a wing flap. They are simply fantastic and excellent flyers!

      They're one of the most graceful soaring birds I've ever seen. There's a tall tree across the street from my house that attracts a large community of turkey vultures in the summer time and come early evening an entire congregation of them will gradually circle the tree and land there for a night's rest. It's truly breath taking to see dozens of them soaring and circling all at once to go to bed. I always stop what I'm doing to watch. Most people don't understand how important they are.

    Thanks for posting this. Turkey Vultures get such a bad reputation. They may not be fair of face, but using that wing span of almost six feet they can glide aloft for 6 hours or more. They're pretty plentiful out here near San Jose, CA. and we often see groups of two dozen soaring on thermals.

They have weak flat feet with blunted talons, so they can’t move dead animals out of the road, and thus often resort to eating them in the street. The best way to prevent collisions is to use a shovel to move roadkill out of the street for them.
