As of today, the vultures, broad-winged and red tailed hawks are the movers!  Spring, and feathers are in the air!

On my "2-do" list...find a pair of nesting Turkey Vultures. Sorry, "bucket list " is just way over used  :-\
I have seen a couple.

When I was growing up, in Manitoba's parkland region, I never saw a turky vulture up close. That being said, every fall when we were killing chickens (fall harvest) we would get about twenty of them circling high overhead--just like in the movies. Since we did not leave out any carcasses (or anything else) for them, they would simply move along.

You could tell from their size, shape and colouring, that they were turkey vultures and not ravens, crows, magpies, hawks, or anything else. That is how we knew they were in the area, but we never saw them at any other time.

Hey, we have lots of Turkey Vultures in the southern interior of BC.
They aren't here yet, obviously just being spotted migrating, but are fascinating to watch soaring on the thermals in our valley on hot summer days.

I would bet that many have never seen a Turkey Vulture in real life ?
By the Turkey Vulture numbers that are posted I would think that we should be seeing them like Sparrows or Robins... and it makes me wonder just where they end up as we don't see just that many in Manitoba ?
Just my thought.
