Vulture: Nature's Ghastly Gourmet - Thryft

Revealing the misunderstood elegance of scavengers.

If you've ever wrinkled your nose at the thought of vultures, "Vulture: Nature's Ghastly Gourmet" might just change your mind. Wayne Grady, with his authoritative text, doesn't just describe these birds; he rehabilitates their image. The vibrant photography brings you face-to-face with these curious creatures, perhaps turning past revulsion into a newfound respect. This book is a visual and educational feast for anyone intrigued by nature's cleanup crew.
