This fellow looks like he was leading the band, when he was actually drying his feathers. There were eight on a tree in the woods behind our house, approx. 300' away, and several were in this position. We do need to invest in a more powerful lens, but until then, I thought this was a very neat pose.

| Turkey Vultures in the US mostly don't migrate so I was surprised to be reminded that Canada has to wait to see them |

| I love the turkey vultures. We usually see lots of them, but last year we didn't see any at all. I sure hope they show up this year. Have you ever seen pictures of the nestlings? They are really interesting looking, and quite cute in their fuzzy white down. |

Your Turkey Vulture looks almost majestic in his pose. Last year I saw a Turkey Vulture land on the neighbor's bird feeder
then fly up to a chimney, not very gracefully.
 Mostly though, I see them high up soaring around and watching and watching and watching ..... Claire (who lives near the town of Buzzards Bay) |
