I grew up near the "Buzzard" capital of Hinckley, Ohio, which hosted a well-attended annual festival, and was memorialized in a song by Ruth Buzzi (!). That said, it was still a bit unsettling when 2 vultures roosted in our central NJ yard for a couple of years, until we got a dog (not for that reason). Although their droppings have benefits, they are voluminous and unsightly. I do miss seeing them now that I've read this piece!
