Bird of the Week -Turkey Vulture
With Halloween just around the corner, I saved this amazing bird for just this season. The Turkey Vulture. This photo was taken here in Idyllwild by Frazier Drake.
Turkey Vultures are so named because their heads look like wild turkeys. They don’t have feathers on their heads so they don’t get bits of decaying flesh stuck to their feathers. They ONLY eat dead animals and have an amazing sense of smell which allows them to smell the gasses of decaying animals from as far away as a mile. They are the largest of the vultures but are not dangerous to pets or humans. They are actually extremely important to the ecosystem because they clean up the dead carcasses left behind. They roost in trees at night with other birds, but hunt for dead animals alone during the day. They are migratory and are primarily in our area during the summertime. Did you know that a group of turkey vultures is called a “kettle of vultures”? Happy halloween everyone!

Local Organization of the Month:
In this new section, we will highlight a different 501(c)3 organization each month. We hope to give you ideas on different organizations that you can get involved with both as volunteers & donors. The secret to community is “GETTING INVOLVED” and we want to highlight the different organizations that give to our community and need people like YOU to get involved.
Idyllwild Community Center (ICC)
This small group manages a HUGE number of facilities and events and they do it all with a very small board of directors and staff. The sheer scope of things this group does would make your head spin. And if you wanted to volunteer regularly or just occasionally, this would be a wonderful organization that could use your gifts and talents. From refereeing sports to hiding easter eggs, to setting up for tree lighting to working snack booths at the summer concerts. There is SO MUCH to be involved in with this group. Just the facilities alone are a huge task. And most people think some form of County Government manages all of this. They don’t…ICC, a local non-profit does it all.
If you would like to get involved with ICC in some form, please email president Stephanie Yost: stephanie.yost.icc@gmail.com
