For the Birds

Evan has become obsessed with vultures. Of all the animals, vultures. He got a book about desert animals when Grandpa Joe went to AZ and Evan was fascinated to learn all about vultures. He talks about how they eat carrion - dead animals - but I don't think he gets what that really means. And he was especially interested in how they pee on their legs to cool down. Thankfully, he hasn't tried that out, but he does pretend to be a vulture with Pops and they eat pretend carrion. Too cute. We looked up vultures at the local zoo website and they may have turkey vultures at Woodland. So he is looking forward to visiting the turkey vultures when it warms up a little. Til then, I've requested a couple vulture books from the library. :)
