Buzzard roost


For a few years, the Turkey Vultures roosted right down town on this tower.   Which is beside the Police Station/ Fire Station/ City Hall.  I don't know what was done, but they no longer roost there.


There would be well over a hundred.  I wish I had tried to count them at least once but I never took the time.  BTW, neither of these photos show how many were normally there at night.

    I imagine seeing all of those guys next to the police station would give bad guys the desire to leave town.... Great shot.

    That's intriguing that they are no longer there. I think that would make me sad if I saw them there all the time.

    Wow, that would be a bit creepy seeing all of them covering that tower.

    It’s an interesting history of those birds. I guess we will never know why that roost somewhere else .

    It's like their own little city! So many of them. That's a cool picture, Rose.

    These pictures already show a lot of birds. I can imagine that they left behind a significant amount of droppings.

    I don't think that I have ever seen so many turkey vultures in one place. This is phenomenal! Wonderful silhouettes.
