They wouldn't be there if there wasn't a food source. I feed my black vultures possums, raccoons, and coyotes that happen to waltz into my kill zone in my South pasture.

I love vultures. They are humble. They just want what no one else has use for.

Is it coincidence that 100 is the number of US Senators, or has our Senate moved north?

At first, I thought the U.S. Senate was coming to town, then I read the excerpt.

Did they receive an invitation from the town’s lawyers, or did they drop in unannounced?

Bridgewater NJ is not really what you call ‘’upmarket’’.

...the best way to tackle a vulture invasion is to hang a dead vulture carcass, or effigy, upside-down from a tree with the wings spread in the area they're congregating.

I wonder if this would work with ambulance chasers.

Jeez. Why are they complaining? If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Why don’t they have a Buzzard Festival or something? There are other places that do this out West. I guess Jersey residents are too used to being spoon fed by the government to have any imagination!

The affected Bridgewater residents were planning to chip in to pay for the effigy, which costs around $500 per carcass

...

um... give me a 22 and some string and i’ll do it for half the cost!

There was a house in a near by town that had a couple dozen on its roof - big mess.

We’ve had a dozen or so come circling in in the evening to roost in the pines - vulture guano on the rhododendrons, so pretty.

I used to try to throw stones at them but I have a terrible arm. Maybe a slingshot.

For years I looked for black vultures whenever we went down South - never saw them, never could put them on my list. The first ones I ever saw were here in NJ, and now they’re everywhere.

They must smell the death of the Republican Party in Jersey..
Chris Christy is only a little more republican than Chris Matthews..

And Ann COulter must be trippin on some boadcious weeds..
Christy and Myth Romney don’t have that tingle up the leg kind of action..
Ann seems to be sucking on a very nasty Bong..

Locally, we have a large flock of buzzards (turkey vultures, actually) that hang out near one of the big snowbird retirement communities. I guess they figure it’s just a matter of time...

Hmmmm...The swallows return to Capistrano......The vultures return to Bridgewater......Sounds vaguely romantic.

It’s the funniest thing. A group of vultures has taken up residence on top of BP’s building and won’t go away. They crap all over the place and circle the building all day long.

As to how to get rid of them, there is a secret that usually works and I have used it on the farm successfully.
