Every day with Modoc is special, but this one is even more so! It's the day we're celebrating 40 trips around the sun with this amazing turkey vulture. Modoc came to Woodland Park Zoo in the late 80s as a youngster from a wildlife rehab center, so we don't know his actual hatch day. Each minute with this handsome boy is filled with wonder and appreciation for all his wild cousins do to help keep our environment clean. We love you Modoc and wish you MANY more healthy years of big vulture energy! You make 40 look magnificent! 🎂❤️
