Overheard at the Audubon

"Hey Artie, Come here."
"A Rabbi, a Priest, and a Minister Walk Into a Bar.
Then a horse walks in. The bartender says "'Why the long face?'"

"Hey Artie, come back here. Artie! C'mon. . ."

King Vultures, photos by Stan Rolfsrud. 
When the King Vulture arrives at a carcass feeding site, other New World vultures give way. The King Vulture has the largest skull and braincase, and strongest bill of the New World vultures. This bill has a hooked tip and a sharp cutting edge. The bird has broad wings and a short, broad, and square tail. The irises of its eyes are white and bordered by bright red sclera. Unlike some New World vultures, the King Vulture lacks eyelashes. It also has gray legs and long, thick claws. -- Wikipedia.
