They have bald heads and faces so no disease from the dead bodies they eat can get into the vultures system. And the way they just soar on the wind, they hardly ever flap their wings, they just use the currents to fly…….so awesome. I call them red faces around here in South Eastern MN…….actually really enjoy them.
