Observation Date / Time
Weather overcast and 52 degrees. Wooded residential area; road winding through hills. 2 to 3 turkey vultures were waiting on wires above body, so I moved it to side of road. This had been a big skunk with a beautiful fur coat. Someone was definitely going faster than 30 mph. Was on my way to bring an ill Goldfinch to Bird Rescue Center on Chanate Road before heading to work.
