John,
I have been seeing large numbers of Turkey Vultures streaming overhead and
kettling early/late for the past two days.
Yesterday evening I even had some Broad-winged Hawks & a Swainsons's Hawk mixed
in with a big kettle of vultures on the west side of Kingsville.
Definitely an impressive movement of vultures.
