They were so high up they looked like black specks in a blue sky. Marine binoculars reveled they were vultures. They had a good tail wind and were moving on - boogie - boogie. In Columbia County, Florida near the intersection of interstate 10 & 75.

I saw the first couple of them in the last week or so..... Doing their thing working over a dead racoon on the road... They are not pretty to look at, but they keep things cleaned up around here..
Pi Day
The date is 3 14 Pi is 3.14...
Ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.
Yes, vultures are migratory and are protected by the migratory bird legislation. ( Much to the dismay of the local high school where they liked night roosting on the school campus.)

Ditchrunner,I have never seen a nest in the wild . Gotta be some but in all my years of hunting never ran across one
Just kidding
who would want to get that close
when I was younger and working construction a good old farm boy I worked with grew up on a farm had a lot of stories
he told me as a kid the vultures' would sun them self on the fence post in the morning.
so the idea came to him set leg traps on each post
well most or some know that was a bad idea (, I did not until the story ) his dad woke up seen what happened and said you caught them you let them go 😕
yep every one of the them thru up the previous meal all over him and you can image how that smelled considering what they eat
its a defense mode of there's if you dont know
and my co worker said he never messed with them again 😁
I will guess by now John has passed ( RIP ) on but he was a fun guy to work with his nick name was fatty Arbuckle ( for you older movie fans )

An interesting tidbit about Pi.......it is a non-repeating, non-ending decimal. An irrational number.🤯
Soon they will be at the landfill near my former employer, 50+ flying around just waiting.
I thought this would be about our southern border.
Out of all the birds, other than hummingbirds, vultures fascinate me. We have them around are house and watching them trying to catch thermals by just spreading their wings just amazes me. I’ve seen them jump off a fence post and circle back and forth gaining altitude from the thermals off of fields until they’re well over 1500 feet above the ground. Turkey vultures build their nests on the ground and not in trees.
Hey, great subject.
I saw the first vultures of the season today in western New York, a couple of them landed in the big pines behind my house.
I like Pi Pie
On the way into town today just before the city limits I happen to se 4 or 5 dining on deer carcass just off the road
