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.

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.

Soars.

Primary feathers extended, right wing and head highlighted by the early evening sun, a Turkey Vulture effortlessly soars.

One thing I am doing on Canada Day.

One thing I am doing today is admiring this Turkey Vultures’ graceful soaring.

Rides

Return

Two Turkey Vultures return to their roost ahead of an evening thundershower. Such graceful birds, it is a pleasure to watch then soar, rock, and wheel on the wind.
