It looks beautiful. You'd sure think twice about parking your car without some protection from the vultures. Pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteYikes, was not aware of the vultures love for rubber.
ReplyDeleteI have camped at Myakka SP several times when I lived in Sarasota. Loved it.
OH, this is exactly my kind of vacation!! It looks like you're having so much fun! Very odd about the Vultures. You have to wonder what makes birds/animals start odd behaviors.
ReplyDeleteI trust the vultures left your car alone. You did get a good picture of one of the critters. This looks like a beautiful park.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to get away to a warm climate in winter. I don't know about those vultures though, and I thought the alligators and pythons were to be feared.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a neat place to visit. Wonder why Vutlures like the rubber on the cars?
ReplyDeleteVery unusual diet, I see the population lowering over it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous park... Reminds me of the 'camp' where I had the privilege of attending for a two week intensive class when I was working on my Master's Degree in Christian Education. The Methodist Camp which I attended was in Leesburg--in the center of the state... Fabulous place for a 2-week class....
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.

Hope the vultures left your car alone. I had heard about the vultures and rubber. Strange indeed.
ReplyDeleteAirboat sounds a little over the top for a wildlife park. Hiking sounds more like it. So are you keeping a list and how many birds do you have on your list?
ReplyDeleteDidn't know vultures would do that....
ReplyDeleteMaybe our manufacturers have changed the composition of rubber tires, wipers, etc. to include some vulture kibble in it. This is America, you never know!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful area!

Could it be that the vultures are deficient in their usual food intake?? I wonder how the vultures fare on this tire diet? Vultures are so important to our ecology. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteVulture eating up your tires..sounds kinda funny..but sad too.
ReplyDeleteYou and Mrs TB look like you are having a good time..but you have jackets on:)
It must have had a taste of rubber to start with.
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a nice trip. Naughty vultures!! They remind me of the New Zealand kias, which also like to dismantle cars.
