The petroleum pipeline spanning the Missouri River at Ponca State Park is a favorite spot of these vultures, who look a little ominous as they relax and share vulture gossip. I find vultures fascinating. They are well-evolved and good at what they do. It may be disgusting, but it also keeps a lot of the nasty diseases from spreading more than they do.
