EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness a majestic Turkey Vulture perched atop a towering Cardon Cactus in Mexico. With its striking red head and white bill, this vulture is ready to take on its vital role as nature's ultimate scavenger. Hailing from the southern United States and expanding northward into the eastern U. S. , these incredible birds are common sights in dry open country, woodlands, and farmlands. They fearlessly patrol the skies, keeping our surroundings clean by feasting on carrion and refuse. But it's not all work for these avian heroes! As night falls, they gather at communal roosts where they socialize and share tales of their daring escapades. Imagine being part of that conversation! With their keen eyesight and sharp beaks perfectly adapted for tearing flesh, Turkey Vultures are true lookouts of the animal kingdom. Their presence reminds us that even in nature's circle of life, there is beauty to be found. So let this stunning photograph transport you to Central America as you marvel at one of America's most fascinating creatures. Hang it proudly on your wall as a reminder that even scavengers can be awe-inspiring when captured through John Cancalosi's lens.
