Turkey Vultures

Posted by on Thursday, May 28, 2009 at 7:12 am

Wildlife viewing is one of those added features of an Ignace Outpost vacation.  Our guests regularly see moose, bear, eagles, otters, beaver (not the airplanes), deer, caribou, loons… the list goes on.

If there is decaying animal matter around, turkey vultures are often seen.  Last week on the river south of Irene Lake our guests found a moose carcass, likely from a moose which fell through the ice.

Having a free lunch were turkey vultures.

These ugly birds work diligently to help clean up the forest.
