We have seen many old, massive plane trees in Europe. There are lots in
Philly, too, but they tend to die at about age 70.

Oops... I am guessing the "deer" in your response came from the
gallery title... The "food" of the vultures isn't a deer. Rather, it is
some small animal (squirrel, skunk, maybe a rabbit).
The "deer" - was referring to the "Bambi" that appears in the last two
photos in the same gallery
