Way station.

Turkey Vultures are migrating, heading south for the winter. A short time ago we marvelled at the dozens of them soaring, gliding into trees, going to roost for the night at this way station. These are only a few of the 50+ that we had the pleasure to see.

Trio.

I counted 42 Turkey Vultures on the move the other day. Despite my mad snapping away trying to capture such large numbers, after reviewing my images the best I did was to capture this trio.

On the move.

Turkey Vultures are on the move, starting to head south for the season. I counted 40 a short time ago and was fortunate to capture this one.

No time.

I had no time to get out from under the hydro lines to capture this flight of Turkey Vultures soaring on the early evening wind before they departed the scene.

Always enjoy.

I always enjoy watching Turkey Vultures wheel and soar.

A treat for the eyes and spirit.

Watching Turkey Vultures soaring overhead is always a treat for the eyes and the spirit.

In formation.

Turkey Vultures are on the move; fall migration seems to be underway. These three are in a line astern formation above a night roost. Could not get a good focus on them despite numerous tries. My technique needs work.

Such graceful birds; I love watching them.

I never tire.

I never tire of watching Turkey Vultures wheel and soar. Such graceful birds.

Whizzed by.

Same storm as I posted about last night. This Turkey Vulture whizzed by flying downwind. I was rapidly swinging the camera trying to keep up, snapping away, and am surprised to have caught it at all.
