In north America their are to prominent species of vulture the turkey vulture, and the black vultures.
Wild Turkey Vultures are shy, and lack any real sort of defense except projectile vomit. Black vultures though are much more aggressive, are often found in groups and will sometimes try to kill small weak and dying animals and have been known to attack new born cattle. All in all vultures aren't a common sight depending on where you live, the most harm they could possibly do is eat the carcass of your pet dog or poop in your front yard. In my opinion vultures are the garbage men of the wilderness, they eat any carcasses preventing sickness in other animals.

How does a owl see in the dark?
Owls eyes are designed for night vision. This is achieved with the eye being very rich in Rod cells (light-sensitive cells) in the sensory receptor layer of the retina. Owls pay the penalty for this by having very poor focusing powers, and the eyes are virtually immobile in the eye socket.
Owls do have a neck, with 14 vertebrae which allows the owls head to turn about 270 degrees. However, because the owls feathers are so thickly covered, it is only when the owl stretches that the neck becomes apparent.
I was wondering the same thing the other day when I saw about 20 of each in what appeared to be a "swarm". They flew around together in circles and I thought that the swallows were trying to eat the dragonflies but they weren't. I've never seen anything like it in my life. My son and I watched them for about 1/2 an hour while we were on a bike ride. We had to get home and they were still circling as we left. The dragonflies were very large too so I would have heard a crunching if they were being eaten.
