Birds on the Taneycomo River

They sure can get stacked up in the thermal over Town Center during migrations.

I think the Black Vultures have completely displaced the Turkey Vultures here. At least I haven't seen a turkey buzzard in a few years.

There were a bunch of them around Cape Fair watching Dutch and I fish.  Patiently waiting...🥵

            Ok then make sure Dutch moves once in a while also.  I think those black ones are creepy. Our turkey vultures are still the majority up here but more and more of the black ones are showing up.

Buzzards used to completely vacate our area around the time of the first frost, but they don't anymore.    

You won't see them tending to roadkill much during the winter like they do during the warmer months......but they still are here and soaring among the ridge tops.

Bella Vista should be renamed "Road Kill City" or "Vultureburg".  

True dat. I have to walk under a huge roost to reach one of my morel spots, there's about a 40 yard circle that's painted white, covers the ground and half way up the trees.
