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.
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.
Quite an acrobatic show.
Yesterday evening a decaying thundershower moved in, and an outflow gust front from it brought brisk and gusty wind. Turkey Vultures returning to their nearby roost rode the wind and put on quite an acrobatic show, wheeling, tilting and rocking, power diving, a few blowing through at less than treetop height.
I caught this one in a stoop, wings drawn in, losing altitude in a hurry.
I never tire.
I never tire of watching Turkey Vultures wheel and soar.

One thing I am doing on Canada Day.
One thing I am doing today is admiring this Turkey Vultures’ graceful soaring.
Rides

Tilting
While reviewing photos I came across this photo of a Turkey Vulture tilting, riding the wind.
Difficult
Tracking the Turkey Vultures on as they wheeled and soared on this windy day was difficult. I was fortunate to capture this image.
