Wild Bird Wednesday and Saturday's Critters

Turkey Vultures, Cathartes aura, are part of nature's clean-up crew. They are the most common vulture in the Americas, ranging from southern Canada in North America to the southern tip of Chile in South America. Some of the Turkey Vultures in North America are migratory birds, but the others are year-round residents.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I am linking in today with Wild Bird Wednesday and Saturday's Critters

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

  5. We see turkey vultures here, my favorite is when they spread their wings wide after a rain. You can see the steam rising off of them as they dry.

  7. We actually see more of their cousins, the Black Vultures, around here. I remember how gratified I was when I first learned to distinguish the two in flight. They often flock together.
