Illustrated by
Steve Jenkins.
In just a few poetic lines per double-page spread, Sayre introduces readers to the activities of the turkey vulture--soaring, gliding, eating carrion (tastefully portrayed without gore). Jenkins's cut-paper illustrations capture the birds' readily recognizable silhouettes as well as zooming in to detail their intricate feather patterns. Additional factual information about vulture habitats plus resources for further study are appended.
