There's been turkey vultures hanging around the barn for weeks now. You'll often see up to a dozen sunning themselves on the roof. I suspect there's some nesting going on in there as well.
Tonight I spent some time on the stoop just watching their take-offs and landings. There was a brisk wind coming in from the NW. They do multiple passes, swooping low overhead, literally fifty feet from me. I've got thirty foot plus trees lining the driveway, and they'll weave between the trees on their next approach to the barn roof. They do multiple loops and try different routes and altitudes before finally landing. It is an absolute wonder to behold!
Beats the hell out of Netflix.
