"Please, Don't Throw Rocks!"
At certain times of the year, large groups, or "wake", of vultures roost on the power line supports just north of this cache. Sometimes there be hundreds at one time. Vultures are scavenging birds, feeding on the carcasses of dead animals. A particular characteristic of the vulture is a bald head, devoid of feathers. This helps to keep the head clean when feeding. Vultures feed only on dead animals, animals killed or ones that died from being sick. The vultures stomach acid is exceptionally corrosive allowing them to safety digest putrid carcasses infected with toxins, cholera, and bacteria. This also enables them to use their reeking, corrosive vomit as a defensive projectile when threatened. Vultures also urinated straight down their legs, the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses.
So, when finding this cache, "Please, Don't throw Rocks". They may just vomit on you!
