The Vulture: Invaluable Friend, Unfortunate Underdog
Vultures are one of our most misunderstood, yet valuable wild creatures; in our area, they have been tormented and sometimes killed by those who are afraid of them, don’t like their looks, or don’t understand or appreciate their role in our ecosystem. Through this program, we will share some amazing facts about these birds, discuss their migratory and roosting practices, demystify their behaviors, and discuss how towns across the country actually celebrate their arrival each year. Whether you are already a fan or just curious, come out and learn more about them. Live vultures will be present as part of the program so you can get to know these interesting birds first-hand. This free Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy program is perfect for the whole family. Register at www.loudounwildlife.org.
