Talking Turkey…Vulture, that is (Cathartes aura).

Turkey Vultures are a common sight. We usually see them as they soar and glide over the road or huddle around a dead carcass. They look a little turkey – and a little Count Dracula. But what do we really know about them? Join us as board member Dr. Susan Elbin helps us explore the complicated world of these enigmatic and amazing creatures and shares data from the vulture roost of Grand Ledge.
