a model of morbid

A "kettle" of turkey vultures were circling overhead this morning, and my first thought was "wait a minute, I'm not dead yet!" But they were waiting for us to pass by so they could finish cleaning up some road kill. It's a nasty job, but someone has to do it. 
And this particular vulture looked so regal in its black cloak, with its head turned over the shoulder like a model, and its red head matching the roof trim, I just couldn't resist taking the shot.
