Observation details

At first I spotted about 22 birds perched in a dead pine behind my home. They joined over 30 additional birds to kettle for a short while before dispersing into smaller groups. In past years we have seen up to 90 Turkey Vultures in large kettles over our home but usually in late August to September.
