My First

I had my first of the year sighting of a turkey vulture yesterday.  I saw it gliding around in the air above my yard; wings tipping back and forth in the brisk winds.  I know they hang around here and I wish I knew where they nest.  I found a poem about vultures that I want to share.

Thus making up in usefulness
For what he lacks in taste.
