on a similar note...

We have here in KY a relatively new (here) species of buzzard (vultures) for the city folks.

They are greater in number than the turkey buzzards we have always enjoyed but they are causing problems.

They are not bald like our native buzzards, have larger beaks and feet/claws resembling eagles.

They are attacking and killing newborn calves in large numbers unlike our old turkey buzzards which I have never seen kill anything.

My neighbor recently beat several off a newborn calf with a tobacco stick but the calf was badly injured. Lost another calf by being a few minutes late.

He asked me to shoot them when I see them but being the law abiding type I said I would think about it. (illegal here in KY)

They are only slightly smaller than the turkey buzzard and literally swarm at times like crows.

Never were around 10+ years ago.
