Carrion is the correct name for it. It means rotten dead animal. I am glad for the buzzard to take care of carrion.

These Black Buzzards showed up in our front yard one day. I think that they are so ugly that they are cute.

To get to see them on the ground is something else. Don't see these on the ground very often. I see the Turkey Vulture more than the Black Vulture. Have never seen a Turkey Vulture actually on the ground.
