Three dropped down behind the wall. I hurried over to the east steps to see. My view of the landing area was blocked, but one large bird was sitting on the ground in plain view. That’s when I realized it wasn’t one of the Harris hawks that nest behind me. It was a turkey vulture.
I went to get the binoculars and got a close-up of the turkey vulture tearing apart a rabbit. A hawk watched from a dead tree. The sitting hawk screeched and launched itself at the turkey vulture. The vulture flew away.
But didn’t stay away.
