Most wild animals are opportunists like that. Perhaps there is a vulture researcher who can confirm this for us.

They can smell a rotting corpse about a mile away. And vultures seem to prefer fresh road kill when given the chance, rather than what we imagine as the "well-aged" and ripened carcasses drying in the sun. Fascinating aren't they! Thanks for sharing your site too. Nice location and photos. @ Adam Jack–
