[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 1007572, member: 3162"] That's them. Their heads are black. Grey or white on their wings. Turkey buzzards have a red head. Mexican vultures have shorter tail feathers and flop their wings at times more like a common bird. They are all about the same size. The first thing the Mexican vultures take out on a calf is their eyes. They gouge the eyes. When the cow attacks others jump the calf immediately while the cow is distracted. I saw it across the pasture on a neighbor's place. Gates were locked and by the time I jumped the fence and ran across the pasture, it was too late. Our old common turkey buzzards were all flocked on the ground about 50 feet away, adding to the confusion while they watched and waited. Calman, Game wardens here call and tell us when calves are being attacked, if they notice. They hang there until you arrive and then leave as to not witness your actions. [/QUOTE]
