Thank you Randy & Pam for sharing that lovely photo. I found it just as I was eating my breakfast this morning!
There's an outside chance that those globs might have originally come from a large Opossum that got killed by traffic along the highway by our place on Friday morning.
I shifted it off of the highway into the west edge of E.E. Wilson, so that the vultures could work on it without getting hit by traffic. It took them just a few hours to find it.
About an hour later, Becky and I got curious why several vultures were circling low without landing, so we drove up the road to watch from where Adair Frontage Road overlooks that area. By that time there was just one vulture working on the carcass, and that bird wasn't in a "sharing" mood. The others gradually drifted away.
I checked back this morning. There was nothing left but bones and that long rope of a possum tail.
