About Me
- Tor Egil Høgsås
- I am from Norway and lived with my family in Peru between 2007 and 2010. Then I worked as a missionary at Centro Luterano de Educación Teologica and Seminario Teológico Luterano Andino. We have now returned to Norway, but I hope to update this blog with more photos from my eleven years in Peru and Bolivia. I have studied Theology, History, Sociology, Educational Pedagogies and Spanish at different universities. I have watched birds since the age of twelve.

Those are wonderful pixx.
I take it the "turkey vulture" is what I knew as a "turkey buzzard" when I was a kid... just like a "water rat" is called a "water vole" today...?
Thank you for the comment. The Turkey Vulture is a really special bird.
I guess that "Turkey Vulture" is what you called "Turkey Buzzard" although I have not heard that name earlier. Turkey Vulture is also present in North-America.
