[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1800863, member: 24816"] My understanding is that the black buzzards can’t smell and that turkey vultures can. From what I u derstand the black buzzards will sometimes follow the turkey buzzards to a carcass and then run them off. That would be logical as years ago we use to see both at carcasses. Now hardly ever see any turkey vultures. About any time you look around here you are subject to see a black buzzard. They will frequently swoop down very close to calves laying down. Used to be when you saw buzzard’s circling it was a sign of something already dead. Now with the black buzzards it’s an every day occurrence to see them circle. They are opportunistic they will eat carrion if they find it, or they will turn to predation if the the opportunity arises. [/QUOTE]
