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 -

the photo of the Juncos -
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!

Despite years in the woods, I had never seen the wing-drying pose. When I saw a Black Vulture in that stance, I ran(!) for my camera ... I thought it was unusual, but Wiki says it's a common activity; oh well.

A well done and informative group of nature shots by you.
