An Ominous Sign 1 comment
Turkey Vulture — Image by kenne
This turkey vulture landed in a mesquite tree 25’ from our patio.
This was two days after my best friend, Tom Markey had passed away — an ominous sign.
Or, had the bird become a little disoriented because of the monsoon storms?
(My camera lens focused more on the branches than the bird.)

They arrive each spring
Hundreds resting overnight
Morning departure.

We met only once
years after buying
a Pena painting
that continues
to transform
our living area —
it doesn’t
get any better
than this
even though
it may often
go unnoticed.

Heading North Leave a comment
Turkey Vulture in Flight Over the Tanque Verde Wash — Image by kenne
Late afternoon
Brings the big birds
Circling in for a landing
In the dead trees
By the Tanque Verde Wash.
Their stay will be brief
Before warming up
In the morning sun
Before liftoff, circling
Gaging the currents.
Each day for most of March
The turkey vultures return
In their journey north
To their northern home
Only to return next fall.

The Migration Is Almost Over 2 comments

Each spring hundreds of turkey vultures roost overnight near Tanuri Ridge. The following morning they start circling as they continue their flight north. A few weeks ago we would count 250 or more taking off each morning. This morning the count was a half-dozen. There are thousands the migrate through the Tucson basin, Tanuri Ridge just one narrow corridor. I photographed this vulture as he flow over our house. The migration south will begin in early October.

Turkey Vulture Art 2 comments
Turkey Vulture Computer Art by kenne
In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar,
but in a city, with its blaze of lights,
it is unnatural and menacing.
It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers,
biding its time.
— W. Somerset Maugham
