Yet, again, a post about my neighborhood. I took this picture this morning as I was exiting my subdivision on my way to work. It’s kind of menacing. It’s something you think you would see in a post-apocalyptic movie.
If you can’t tell what it is, it’s a vulture. A very large vulture. Along with the (previously mentioned) peacocks, otters, hawks, and raccoons, there is an abundance of vultures in my area. So much it has become a huge eyesore. Everyday it is not uncommon to see a flock of 15 or more of these large Turkey vultures congregated on the side of the road or up in the trees. I often wonder if it is because of the new housing and business developments that has been ongoing since I moved to this area four years ago. I would think because of this it drives all the animals out of their habitat into the streets and under the wheels of heavy traffic. It’s a constant buffet for the vultures.
Sadly, this vulture was eying a baby raccoon that met its demise in the road.
About ed
I was born and raised in Tallahassee until 1993. There I was raised to love God, Family and the Seminoles, in that order. After meeting a gorgeous girl in 1992 from Jacksonville, where my family had moved to in previous years, I decided to move to Jacksonville where I lived for four years until that gorgeous girl and I decided to move to Orlando. I’ve been living in Orlando with that gorgeous girl since 1997 and still love her and the city. My only major complaint about Orlando is the weather (it’s hot, people, too hot). I have no complaints about her – I love you, baby .
I work in the Technology field as a Systems Administrator working with Windows servers and Cisco networking. Because I love my career so much I enjoy technology outside of the work place also. When I’m not exploring new tech gadgets, working on my computers, or tweaking my local home network, I generally enjoy video games, movies, reading and spending time with my family. And when I am not doing all of that, I also work as a consultant for my technology consulting company, EC Technology Consulting, LLC.
To sum it up, I’m a tech geek.
