I am not positive what a number of vultures is called, maybe a flock. Today I saw a whole bunch of vultures on top of a tower. I have never seen any on top of any tower in a town let along the number of these present.

The photos are not my best because of the distance to the tower but they are easily picked out.

Interesting shots Dennis.

The term or name for a group of vultures varies depending on where they are, although the generic term is a flock. When they are flying in formation, they are referred to as a kettle. When they are resting in a tree or on the ground, vultures are called a committee, and whilst feeding, they are known as a wake

I looked this up. There are three main names for a group of vultures. A group that is roosting is called a committee. A group that is feeding is called a wake. A group that is flying is called a kettle. I guess you photographed a "communications committee." Who thinks up this silliness?

Call them whatever you like. Just do not expect me to remember more than just one. Neat names though.

Thanks for taking a look and for a neat comment. As to the name of the committee in centuries past the only name I could come up was, Boring.

Thank you AzPicLady for your always positive comments. Right next to that tower was one identical with an equal number of vultures present on that one. Possibly a board meeting for a meat company perhaps.
