Vultures Like BBQ Too?

We took a road trip this afternoon over to Kissimmee to check out the RV repair shop where Auntie Violet has her appointment Monday morning. Dave, the tech, had given us some advice about which way to approach the shop which is just off of Highway 192. It's on the other side of the road from where we will be heading and he said the corner at the intersection is too tight to make the U-turn. And he was right on! We checked out access using a service station on the right side that has a truck area. It looks like it had better work, as if you're not able to get turned around, you're on the Florida Turnpike and there's nowhere to get off for forty miles!

We still wanted to check out Fat Boy's Barbecue since we had finally located it after we had already eaten the other day. It's a nice place with friendly wait staff. It wasn't the best bbq we've ever eaten, but not the worst either.

When we came outside after eating, we saw lots of birds flying around and in. As we came around the back of the parking lot we saw all of these vultures perched on the fence around the dumpster.

 

There must have been twenty or more in the area. They were even perched on the light poles!

These are Black Headed Vultures, one of two varieties we've seen in Florida. (The others, with red heads, are Turkey Vultures)
