I saw another good use for buzzards this weekend. They had picked clean the carcasses of 12 red sliders that had drifted to the edge. On a sour note...I saw a dreaded GBH(crane) at my pond. I first thought it was a kingfisher,which I nad seen before. When I came up near the feeder, he flew across the pond and stood on the other side. Knew I did not have armament. Luckily for me, the sides are pretty steep; not so lucky for all the frogs around the edge.
