We have both black and turkey wulchers here, which is good given the amount of road kill deer on the roads. As far as I can tell, the vultures are the official clean up crew and no tax dollars are spent outside of the city limits on cleaning up road kill. They do an amazingly fast job.
Last year a dozen or so turkey vultures decided to sun themselves every day for a few weeks on my neighbor's roof. She got pretty freaked out wondering if it was an omen...not as freaked out as her cat was, though!

typical scenes here. Vultures are here all year round but I always have a lot in the winter. They know they are safe here. I have black and turkey vultures.

OMG.... that's out your back window!!! I'm insanely jealous. We had some "resident" vultures but some moron shot them. We get them doing fly-bys looking for handouts but NEVER have I EVER had that many in my backyard at once!!!

There is an open field next to that part of my property. This time of year I see deer there almost every day. The other day I had one deer in my horse pasture. That's the first time I have seen a deer on my property.

I think I take things for granted. I didn't even think about posting vulture pictures before this thread. The other day there were about 20 of them in the trees behind my barn. I didn't have a chance to take a picture. I will try to take more pictures.
