Yes, it's a turkey vulture webcam!

Posted: Mon, Jul 2, 2012 10:45 PM

While the Decorah bald eagle webcam is wrapping up its 2012 season, the Raptor Resource Project's turkey vulture cam in Missouri is just getting started.
 
The birds recently laid eggs, which are about to hatch.

Raptor Resource Project Director Bob Anderson says he's excited about the new webcam.  "Their timing is perfect — just as the Decorah eagles fledge, the turkey vultures are hatching. We're hoping people will just switch from one species to the other."
 
"They make their living eating roadkill and carrion, so a lot of people look down on them, but I'm hoping this camera will generate some interest," said Anderson.
