You never know -

You never know -
what one might see looking out the window -

across the street -
a Vulture Convention -
if they would stop flying in and out -
would have an accurate count -
Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) -

the Cleaning Crew of Nature -

- from Wikipedia
"This vulture is often seen standing in a spread-winged stance. The stance is believed to serve multiple functions: drying the wings, warming the body, and baking off bacteria. It is practiced more often following damp or rainy nights."

with all the rain we have had -
that makes sense -

gives a contrast to the sizes of these birds

I suppose they have to convocate somewhere!
That reminds me that I haven't paid my Griffon vulture friends a visit in quite some time! A mission for April, May or early June I think, when I can combine it with some Alpine meadow spring floral carpets.
Super collage, Peggy!

A lovely collage. Yesterday I looked out of the window to find a male pheasant in my garden! I hope he comes back today.
