Turkey Vulture is absent from the trans-pecos, panhandle/south plains, and
western NC TX from about November until March. There are a few records here and
there and areas along the Rio Grande occasionally have overwintering birds.
Interestingly there are a few birds that overwinter in Roswell, NM along the
Pecos. Also of note, this same area of Texas lacks Black Vulture (except along
the Rio Grande).
