You won't find this photo in the next Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce Explore Bluffton visitors' guide, but you will find this photo unusual.
Ever wonder why Bluffton is absent of road kill? These four feathered friends are part of a the local Keep Bluffton Beautiful clean-up crew.
On the day of this photo, the crew worked diligently near the corner of Grove and Jackson. Part of a pack of 25 or so turkey vultures who adopted Bluffton several years ago, they are a consummate scavenger, cleaning up the countryside one bite of their sharply hooked bill at a time, and never mussing a feather on their bald heads.
