Buzzard Info:
Turkey vultures, Cathartes aura (or ‘buzzards’), are considered birds of prey, but they are primarily scavengers and not hunters. Buzzards feed on carcasses of small to large animals. They usually hunt at altitudes of 200 feet or less, but have been observed in their northward migration flying as high as 5,000 feet. The buzzard’s elongated beak lacks the powerfully-decurved hook typical of other birds of prey, and their legs and feet are relatively weak. A buzzard weighs between 3 to 6 pounds and their wingspan can be up to 6 feet. Buzzards can live as long as 20 years.

Buzzard Roost is located at the corner of State Road and West Drive in Hinckley Reservation in Hinckley Township.

The East Coast Vulture Festival is a celebration of vultures-these misunderstood birds that in our culture have so often been associated with sinister scenes of death and gothic horror. The East Coast Vulture Festival is an afternoon and evening of fun, entertainment and education, which celebrates vultures with educational presentations, music, arts & crafts, and dance and provides an opportunity to enlighten the public on the beneficial role of vultures in maintaining a clean and healthy environment. This is a unique event, the only festival honoring vultures on the entire eastern seaboard of the United States.
