I was thinking... Vultures eat carrion, and some of it is quite ripe. So, is it a special treat for vultures to find a sun-baked skunk?

I am no expert. Based on my experience I can say that road kill squirrels etc get picked up pretty quickly and the one skunk I saw on the road was there for weeks until car tires turned it to dust......

I hacve seen both crows and vultures eating relatively fresh roadkill skunks, not together but at different locations.

Pat, that sure makes sense that they would.

Now if I could get the vultures to take care the crows I would be happy.
