Now I'm as peace loving and bird watching as the next guy, but have you ever seen a buzzard up close.  I mean really up close?

The other day, I hitched a ride with a guy going my way.  I've had to cut back on driving my low riding 4x4 because gasoline has gotten so expensive.  Anyway, the ride was reasonable or so I thought. 

Now in Texas, you know the state bird must be a buzzard.  Well, I have to tell you the state is now short one bird.  My ride was cruising outside the hood, when out of no where this suicidal buzzard was camped out in the middle of the road.  This bird must have been really depressed because he didn't budge as my ride bared down on him. 

I kept thinking.  Bird you gotta move and move quick.  We were really cruising and if the bird had kept his head down, he'd still be alive to tell the story.  But just about the time we got there, he flew up and right at our windshield.

I remember the last bug I hit, it was a mess and the sound was loud.  But if you have ever hit a buzzard, let me tell you the sound is deafening!  POW! I thought the Sparrow was going to have Buzzard in his lap.  It  really got me laughing about the Sparrow taking out a Buzzard.

The buzzard didn't have a chance.

Now I may be a bonified neophite, but the only place I know of bigger than Texas has a fancy buzzard for a state bird. I was there one time and kept wondering how they put all the white golf balls in the trees. Figured if must of been an native american thing. Then, found out those gold balls had wings and flew. Life is full of surprises.
