    There is something about these vultures that remind me of people. Note the hooded appearance of the bird on the left. These were waiting their turn to feed on a sea lion carcass

    Although they're not exactly warm and fuzzy, I think turkey vultures are kind of cool - unless you crawl out of bed and find seven them circling over your driveway. (Went outside and did a sniff test; didn't find anything).

    The Turkey vulture migration is numerous this early fall. Caught this guy sunning yesterday morning. Today there were well over 50 up at once with Swaisons Hawks mixed in flying in the same formations/thermals.
