International Vulture Awareness Day September 4

Hi,
I’m not sure if everyone knows about this or not, but the first Saturday in September is IVAD or International Vulture Awareness Day. This year it’s September 4th. There’s a lot of virtual things going on for it this year and I just wanted to share at least 1 resource as it’s a worldwide event. For anyone who might be interested…

Thanks for the alert and link, Vanessa. Will definitely try to do something, maybe a trip to the local wildlife refuge is in order.

Great idea.
What a mess nature would be without these birds helping to clean it up.
Oh, and they actually make great photo subjects, in my humble opinion.

Yes! @BrettOssman In my opinion they are the BEST subjects! :smile:
Oh, and an interesting fact I recently learned is that each bird is worth over $10,000 in their lifetime! Like if they weren’t around it would cost an extra$10,000 per bird for humans to get rid of all the dead stuff they clean up! They are worth more than gold!
