It’s migration time for Turkey Vulture, so it’s not unusual to see a lot of these big vultures in the morning and late afternoon.
Storms have been in the area with 30-40 mph wind gusts. We live near the Tanque Verde Wash where many of the migrating
birds roost overnight in the cottonwoods near the wash. Yesterday afternoon storms in southern Arizona caused the migrating
vultures to start coming in early by the hundreds. Some landed in dead trees near
Tanuri Ridge where I was able to take these photos,
after which they took off across the wash to spend the night in cottonwoods south of the wash.
