Take a guess.

What's the proper definition of what's going on in this pic. These are Turkey Vultures.

A kettle of vultures. IDK

Got it in the first shoot.

Flying?

Aerial orgy?

If they were regular vultures it would be a kettle.

A group of turkey vultures is called a flight. Google would never lie.

Getting ready to head south. Looking for someone that knows the way.

Alfred Hitchcock Presents........

Nice pics

dont know what its called but i bet they are looking for a body of water to eat ALL the fish out of.

Dead cow or deer. What do I win?

Circling the Death Star trying to figure out which one is Red 5?

Starting there migration

Seem them and hawks do that a couple times when migrating

I’ve never seen that many buzzards in one spot. Dang.

It's called a scattershot of vultures.

I saw the same thing today. One big group of buzzards and about an hour later there was a group of 30-40 hawks of some sort came by doing the same thing.

A pod headed south.

Just thinking the same.

They'll circle and circle until the they get the altitude they want and then start stringing off to the south in one long wave. Others will join them on the way and the flight can get miles long.

bunch birds for sure.

Polish Airforce flying in pattern???

That's what I think. They're riding a thermal up until they get the altitude they want.

Dead elephant

Someone in trouble Kemosabe!

Yep, and when they reach the top of the thermal they will dive as far as they can until they reach the bottom of the next thermal, all without flapping their wings. Turkey vultures can soar for a helluva long time without burning much energy.

Grouping together in a thermal to migrate.
