ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
These are two Lappet-faced Vultures. Again, these birds are scavengers who primarily feed off the carcasses of animals. Like other vultures, they have a bald head. This is very important; if the head had feathers it would become dirty with blood, flesh, etc. as the bird often has its head inside a carcass.
