Vulture Attack Cat Dog Osprey Blackbird Buzzard skunk

Video shows the intellect of the turkey vulture. This vulture was trying to eat lunch, which was either a skunk or a cat. After the vulture was interrupted several times, it solved its problems by dragging the animal off the road. Shows an episode in the life of a vulture and its intelligence.

After I drove up to it, it crossed the road to let me by. After I stopped, it returned. Then as I continued to approach, it flew away. It was instantly attacked by blackbirds, which chased it for a while.

Then it returned. By this time, it had had enough and it began to drag the animal off the road.

Soon a large dog approached and the buzzard decided to drag the animal still further off the road.

I walked up to it and got to within about 20 feet of this determined buzzard. It then decided to drag the animal even further off the road.

A little while later, I came accross an Osprey taking food to its young. Unfortunately, I didn't film its landing on the nest, but did film the nestlings moving around and eating.
