After searching for about 15 minutes we made our way to an elevator ( i guess it was a terminal of some sort)...mechanical room only to discover a set of stairs going even higher to a 7th floor which mainly consisted of huge machines. We were hanging out taking a few pictures and finding our wy around when we heard this high pitched chirping sound which scared the shit out of all of us (enough to send one of my friends screaming down the hallway yelling "bats ahhhh"). The two of us who actually stayed up there despite being scared shitless found a birds nest up in some rafters - we had woken them up with our lights. Oddly enough, the same night we were on the other side of the hospital's campus and got dive bombed by a bat the entire time we were exploring. Another random animal encounter happened in another hospital. We stumbled upon a building that was completely overgrown with trees; we had walked right by it atleast 10 times, but never spotted it. We decided to explore it, but immediately upon entering smelt the most heinous smell that i've ever smelled. We put on some masks and bandanas and just kept exploring (because we're hardcore like that). We move up to the second floor and the smell was getting worse, it was like nothing i had ever smelled but i thought i was possibly a rusty, plumbing problem smell. I followed it to a room and based on the lay out of the rest of the building, figured it would be a bathroom. I opened the slightly cracked door non-chalantly to find a humongous white turkey vulture hissing and growling at me. It wasn't a bathroom, but a closet and the thing was probably about 2 feet away from me. I had no idea that turkey vultures could even growl like that. I took a few steps back and bolted out of the room. I realized that the turkey vulture probably had a dead animal that it was eating and thats what the smell was, but seriously, i've never been so scared of a bird - hell, ive never been so scared, ever! To this day i hesitate while opening doors.

" the coolest thing i have ever seen was at the metro general in nashville. after leaving the building(s), we were headed back to the cars and saw a huge hawk floating on an updraft from the river bluff right behind the building. he was just hovering there about eight feet off the ground for several minutes, you could have almost just walked over and touched him. Are you now, or have you ever been? zachT123  Location: Highland, Maryland  |  |  Re: Mid Atlantic animal encounters <Reply # 7 on 6/13/2006 9:47 PM >   sorry you guys. Technically it was 4 plus basement (5) then we went up to a tower type place with two sets of short stacked stairs.(7) I call that 7 because it sounds more impressive. I wasn't trying to make up shit. Most of you have probably been there...maybe not up to the tip top though.

On Sunday, Sara and I were on the roof of one of the prison buildings while two hawks were flying and dipping around these massive power lines a couple hundred yards in the distance. I think they were red-tail hawks, which we seem to have a lot of in Tennessee. There's no way I can do them justice in description, but suffice to say I was pretty annoyed that my co-worker was screwing around with my camera at the time. I think I remember your hawk, though. : ) flickrgrrrrl :: boyfuckingracer zachT123  Location: Highland, Maryland  |  |  Re: Mid Atlantic animal encounters <Reply # 10 on 6/14/2006 9:15 PM >   roland, no, but it was tight squeeze and im 6'2.

They're really big, make cool sounds, and have the ugliest head on the planet. Not to mention there good taste in the eats dept. I watch a pair taking a afternoon break from about ten feet away, and that was close. The female was at first pissy about it, but eventually decided to tolerate my presence. They don't smell so hot even when there isn't carrion around! Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

To spite their appearance they are shy, retiring, harmless creatures. Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.
