The vulture, often regarded as a nuisance, are an integral part of the ecosystem. poor guy was trying to look so dignified. don't know what that white fuzz on his beak is or how he got it there. this is a king vulture at the national zoo in washington, dc. no worries, i live nearby and will check on him in a few days to see how he's doing... update: ok., i checked back on him - he's fine and looking pretty suave again... additional update: afer a couple months of looking at this picture i realized it was probably one of his own feathers stuck to his beak. can't believe this didn't occur to me until recently...
