Turkey vultures are just so cool. They serve a very useful purpose - clearing the road (and other places) of carrion. And they can barf at will! Apparently they do this when they have been gorging on roadkill or whatever and then, when approached by a predator, vomit to reduce weight and make for a fast take off. Plus they are resistant to clostridium poisoning. I am going to stop using the word vulture in a perjorative sense.
