Look at the Red Head below

The old towering oak on South Kaobel Road on the most eastern boundary of Welland is gone and with it the home for some unusual birds. On the back way to Welland from Ridgeway we take this road. What a tree it was! As many as thirty of these strange large birds would roost in it. Next door to the oak was a chicken farm. We would use our binoculars and focus on one of these birds. These huge birds with their red hairless heads have a wing span up to six feet. You know what they are - Turkey vultures. These birds are carrion eaters. They have excellent sight but even more they have super sensitive smelling ability.
Watch these vultures as they float around in a “V” tilt in a circular pattern. They have detected the odour of some decaying animal. Soon more will come to the site to eat. Where do they roost at night in Greater Fort Erie?
