Observation Date / Time
While driving, turkey vulture landed in front of me, so I slowed and noticed squirrel crushed on road. Pulled over and, with gloves, picked up as much of squirrel as I could and moved to new sidewalk as vulture waited on new wooden fence across the street. After I left, he flew over to eat squirrel on sidewalk.. There was none left when I drove back by an hour later. Weather conditions at time of observation: 86 degrees F and sunny. Wooden fence on East side of road and empty store on West side of road.
