A Turkey Vulture flies, it's wings in it's characteristic dihedral position, againt a white background.
If you see this guy, it could be a good omen🤞
Some N. American indigenous tribes believe #TurkeyVultures are spirit animals who transform death into new life, and teach us to let go of things that don't serve us.

Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo, the Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage.
I've chosen the daily meeting of the #TurkeyVultures. Almost every morning this tree is filled like this.

Turkey vultures are elegantly waltzing high in the sky - they are so large, but don’t hunt.
The cute-faced white-tailed kite and the barn owls are contrasting fierce hunters.

The back of a Turkey Vulture on pavement with their wings spread and their head turned to the right.
Couple weeks ago, I was pulling into the parking area of a favorite hiking area and the #TurkeyVultures were warming up in the sun. You can see through their nares.

Thanks Alan @alan678.bsky.social for another entertaining theme.

A very large turkey vulture is sitting on a wooden post alongside a hiking and horse trail in the green hills of San Luis Obispo. There are some green shrubs up against the broken wooden fence, and the hills in the distance are a bright green. Laguna Lake Open Space/Cerro San Luis Obispo, California

Turkey vultures hanging out on some fence posts. These photos were taken at different times, but it's the same spot, which is very popular with the vultures.

"Turkey vultures live in a range of habitats, including subtropical forests, shrublands and deserts. They have bald heads so that when they feast on carcasses, blood and guts don't get trapped in their feathers."

In Ontario, I was able to stealth my way up a big hill to get a sneaky look at where the Turkey Vultures hang out. In British Columbia, halfway up a moderately tall mountain, no stealth was needed. Those big buggers flew right at me. #photography #turkeyvultures #vuttures #birds #ontario #canada

Four turkey vultures on the ridge of my roof.

2025 ends with a PLETHORA of turkey vultures (and some black) all around my house. We must have 40 living in the pines nearby, and every morning they move to the sycamore and my roof to warm their bones in the sunshine.
Yesterday, more than 200 flew over.

Two turkey vultures, with their wings outspread, sit calmly on a telephone pole waiting for… Something.
They were just sitting with their wings spread out like that for about five minutes. I don’t know what these guys were waiting for yesterday but I’m glad it didn’t turn out to be me. #TurkeyVultures
Turkey vulture spreading its wings with a spider web seemingly right under the right wing. it is not, of course! Very important and protected birds
Are vultures friends with spiders? Maybe vultures make spider webs??? Or, maybe, just maybe..I got lucky and got this cool shot. Did you know: Turkey Vultures are protected under the MBTA since 1918

🍁 Fall is here, and so are the turkey vultures! Each year, 20k–30k soar over our area (Auburn, CA) during peak migration (late Sept–mid Oct). Some head south to Mexico & Central America, while others stick around. Keep your eyes on the skies this month and start counting! 🦅
