Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit DiscussionIn a time of the spring, old paths are obscured and new growth begins.
They told you that buzzards were only scavengers. They told you only rotting carrion had anything to fear. They were lying.
In northern Spain, residents are finally telling the truth. Vultures are no mere scavengers.
A group of hungry vultures has been seen to attack a mother cow and her calf, murdering them before eating them. This seems to be the new vulture ethic: Create your own carrion!
If vultures in Spain can switch from searching for dead animals to eat to looking for live animals to eat, then they can evolve their behavior again. One more change like this, and those vultures could be hunting human beings. Once they make such a switch, the territory available to them would nearly worldwide, including such hunting grounds as Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
Don’t be afraid to spread the warning. The emperor has no clothes! Protect your children! Reinforce your windows with plywood! The vultures are coming!

ya know, Dan, at first i thought you were a wee bit ‘out there’. ok, a lot out there and there you may still be, but some of what you say makes sense. This scavager-turned-hunter thing has been obseved in another species of bird in Australia,but they don’t kill their prey, they act more like vampires. and also hyenas have been seen to hunt prey.
i thought of you recently traveling in Hudson River Valley when i noticed somthing is killing the trees. someone said it was ‘high winds’ but trees do die from that! they might lose a limb or two, but not die. you can see several on the highway, stark and very dead. wonder if there is any conection with the bees? we’re counting on you Dan.
