Vultures in the back yard
We have 5 of them taking turns eating a rabbit along the edge of our west woods. This bunch seems more civil than most of them. Usually, they fight and squabble among themselves. But this group will step aside when another one lands close by. I guess they realize there is enough to go around.

Had a science teacher many years ago. He told of his experince with buzzards.
He was making an attempt to sneak up on one and catch it. He was very successful except for one thing. Ya'll do know a buzzards first line of defense don't you? He didn't and the "catch" was a bust.
Back in the day when I was a young Park Naturalist I occasionally led a 3-hour hike through a small canyon area. For a while one of the popular attractions on the trail was a nest of turkey vultures under a small rock shelter (they're kind of cute in their own way). One day Mom was home when we came upon the scene. You guessed it - she got airborne and there were about a dozen tourists dodging buzzard puke. I don't recall anyone actually being hit, but I'm sure stories were told around the campfire.
