The vultures have landed! The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's new Vulture Culture exhibit opens next weekend! Join the celebration with temporary tattoos and face-painting for the kids and cake for everyone (while supplies last).
Two turkey vultures and a black vulture committee* are the residents of one of the most innovative and creative exhibits ever developed by the Museum. It's a must-see!!! (*a group of vultures is called a committee, venue or volt)
