The tall Arizona cypress trees on our property have become the roosting trees for a colony of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura).
We now seem to have about 40 of these birds and last year the number was about 25. After the turkey vultures have landed in
the tree tops they remain overnight and occupy the same branches until they leave the next morning. They spend the day
searching for dead animals - "road kill" on the highways - to clean up. Canon G6 (7 MP)
