Fun with the kids

Rooster's friend

Turkey Vulture's flying off

August 3, 2010

We have been watching a neighbors boy these past few days. Since his mom had to go back to work at the school a few weeks before school starts. Lucky her!! We have been having fun. Her son was watching Rooster do archery yesterday and wanted to try it. So, I asked if I could take him to the mountains on the west side of us and have him shoot a little. The kids did very good shooting then we went for a drive to see the sights. I am just so mad at myself. All of us saw something HUGE fly into some trees and land and upon driving up to it. We saw a eagle sitting on the ground. As I was getting my camera up and ready to shoot I flew right over the car and off. Man I couldn't believe the wing span on this bird. Beautiful!!! I could get a shoot off until it was up and over. On our way home is when we saw the Turkey Vulture's . At least 20-25 of them. We have been seeing them for the past few days down the street from our house and was wondering what dead animal was there for them to hang around for. So, today we stopped and notice that some selfish people dumped a bunch of raw meat over the side of the mountain along with a lot of other junk from vacuum, satellite dish, BBQ ext. ext. Gross!!!
