You know that old snag down in the meadow?  Well, when we were driving out last week, we saw these turkey vultures up in the tree.  I'm not sure if they were shopping for lunch, or just hanging out, but aren't they magnificent?  

 

I read that they are gregarious and hang out in large groups, and we have often seen lots of them flying together.  The article that I read also said that they have a wingspan of 63-72 inches, and can weigh up to 5 pounds.  That's a big bird!!!

 

I love seeing them flying overhead, but this is pretty cool too.  

 

 

HAPPY DECEMBER!!!
