Lot of vultures around here; both the turkey vulture and the common vulture

I love watching them sail on the updrafts and think they are quite attractive birds

Vultures are cool

"quite attractive birds"?

Your last name wouldn't be Magoo, would it?

We have them here too. There is one particular place that about 20 of them roost every night. There is a really Gothic looking house across the street from the dead trees that they sleep in. Some mornings, there will be 20 or so of them on top of the house with their wings spread. A more awesome sight is tough to find!

We have a huge dead oak tree nearby where they come to roost every winter. Late in the afternoon, they sit in the upper bare branches and open their wings to sun themselves...bunches of them. They don't seem to bother anyone. I took my grandson to a vantage point and we watched them with binoculars. We look for them every year.
They have a purpose-- (The Clean-Up Crew).
