Turkey Vultures Pins and Buttons
Description: The seven species of New World (North and South America) vultures are featured in cute cartoon Birdorable style. These birds have an important role in keeping the environment clean. Unfortunately some species of vulture are endangered, like the near threatened Andean Condor and the critically endangered California Condor, both shown here along with the Black Vulture, King Vulture, Turkey Vulture, and the Greater & Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures.
Description: The turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), also known in some North American regions as the turkey buzzard (or just buzzard), and in some areas of the Caribbean as the John crow or carrion crow, is the most widespread of the New World vultures. One of three species in the genus Cathartes of the family Cathartidae, the turkey vulture ranges from southern Canada to the southernmost tip of South America. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open areas, including subtropical forests, shrublands, pastures, and deserts.
Description: Nature’s original cleanup crew, the turkey vulture has been keeping California’s highways clean long before humans showed up with orange cones and maintenance trucks. Featuring my wildlife photography with vintage inspired roadside energy, this design is perfect for bird nerds, scavenger fans, falconers, wildlife rehabbers, and anyone who appreciates the unsung heroes of the ecosystem
