The writer used vultures or buzzards to make his point. He talked about the fact that buzzards fly high above beautiful mountains and lush valleys but, instead of appreciating those majestic vistas, they look for a dead carcass to eat. He used that illustration to describe how people can get stuck in a pattern of negative or “stinking” thinking that keeps them from appreciating all the good things God has placed in their lives. He referred to those kind of people as having a “buzzard’s eye view.”
