I left the trail and was hitting black top low & behold there was a
lone Turkey Buzzard. I rode up to with 10 feet before it flew off. It
was bones of a large Turkey it was munching on. I see these big birds
all the time but in large numbers and never that close. Their allways
in flight circling and the orange face give them away from other large
birds in packs more then 2 or 3. I'm on vacation and I didn't have to
leave home to go too the ZOO. Thats a mile from home on the other side
of a trail network that use to be a ZOO.

My friend hit a turkey buzzard while doing about 80mph on his motorcycle
on a section of Hwy 1 while prerunning the Baja 500. Hit him right in
the chest, I'm surprised my friend survived, sadly though the turkey
buzzard did not.
