The buzzards circling are a dramatic touch, but they do not mean buzzards are feasting on human bodies.
I have often seen similar scenes of buzzards circling over Panama City. It had nothing to do with bodies in the streets, but everything to do with how the thermals had set up.
Somewhere, I should have a print of a dozen buzzards perched on a cemetery gate (stone wall and arch) in Panama.
A slaughter house (matadero) was close by...
It made a great picture. I hope I have not lost it...
That’s likely right about the buzzards circling on thermals.
But it sure won’t do much for local moral if it’s near their main hospital.
Saw a buzzard overhead this morning, eleven hours from NY city.
