At 12 Noon today, while visiting a friend who lives just off Space center
Blvd., I noticed a couple of large raptors fly over and land on the top of a
cell tower next door to Fire Station #71. With no binoculars, I could tell that
they were vultures, but I could not tell for sure if they were Turkeys or
Blacks. Then 3 more flew over to the same tower and landed. I watched them for
about ten minutes, then the 3 late arrivals flew away, and I could tell by
their flight, and their long narrow wings that they were Turkeys. The original
two hung around the tower for another 30 minutes then flew away. These two
appeared to be Blacks, since they could not gain altitude without a lot of
flapping, and their wings were shorter and broader than the wings of the other
3. As these 2 gained altitude, I noticed two Red-tailed Hawks circling above
them.
