That group should be called a murder.


That is already used for three crows or more. Two crows are attempted murder.
Vultures in flight is a Kettle.
A committee is vultures resting on the ground.
If feeding, called a wake.
And, there are no buzzards in the US, so these can never be Turkey BUZZARDS.

Is this a Turkey Vulture? A lifetime of doing the dishes is at stake!

Bird flew over at about 70 ft above my head. Bright sun, about 83 F, although it is about 4:30 PM when this image was taken. Sun is in the bird's face. My beloved D500 with my 500 PF attached. 1/2500, f 6.3, ISO 450.



My computer was down for a few days. Then the local internet service provider seems to be throttling the bandwidth. I get about 1.2 down and .2 up on a good test. Right now I am getting 1.88 down and .07 up! Plus they are not answering their phones- the web site sign in not working and has not worked since last October (2019).

Thanx. Well After winning the bet I find myself doing other things in yard, possibly retribution. Oh well :-(

I’m sure their mothers thought them cute! Of course they have a grace in the air. Bad time of day in a clear blue sky for decent photography.


Speaking of pale blue.
That is the ground color of their eggs.
