you all will probably appreciate the day off!
6 years agoYup! They do clean up some really nasty stuff!
I don't mean to be a know-it-all, but just want to help folks out cranking pedals to identify wildlife & plants. I know what it is like to be on the road for most of the day and maybe find a library to use internet and only have limited time and on and on. My most recent ride was journaled on crazyguyonabike.com (Heart Attack Comeback) in 2011, and it still has plenty of unidentified stuff. Being retired, I have time. Being unable to do more than about 20 miles in a day due to knees, I am no longer doing bike touring, but am interested. Following on-going tours gives me the opportunity to use my educational background and primary interest in nature to help other folks.
All that to say, I hope I do not offend you by looking like a know-it-all, correcting nit-picky stuff. Some folks on cgoab tours actually have even begun to ask me by name when they have a question. Not many cycle touring folks take pictures of nature stuff, so it is a delight to help if I can.

Thanks Bill, I looked the vultures up buy I guess I missed the distinction. Both ugly creatures, but useful.
