When I finally did step out on the porch I managed to just raise my camera before all three vultures took off. I picked my way through the muddy yard to see if they left any prints behind. Only one that was sort of recognizable -- oh, well, maybe they'll be back...
I'm staying close to home today. Seems I have my second cold in just over a month. Guess my body is trying to make up for me having four cold-free years. But why, oh why, does it have to do so on my only days off?!? Now, if you will excuse me, I am going downstairs to brew yet another cup of tea.

I loves me some turkey vultures.
Feel better.
Lynne,
They are awesome birds - under-appreciated by most, though :) Glad to know you are a fellow fan!
Mrs. FC's vacation was almost completely taken over by a really bad coughy cold too.
Hope you feel better!
FC,
Thanks. Colds are no fun and the cough is about to do me in! Hope Mrs. FC is all better -- tell her I feel her pain ;)
Thanks for the vultures. They are kind of scarce around here in mid-winter. Sorry about your cold and hope it is better soon.
Marvin,
No shortage of vultures here anytime of year. We have both turkey and black vultures in abundance.
I managed to go for a short walk yesterday afternoon in the swamp across the road from the house and guess what...I found two balloons in the woods! I'm telling you, it's epidemic :)
Up the river (Roanoke) the other day and saw a bunch in a field. I believe they were gleaning for peanuts.
woodduck,
I've seen vultures after peanuts before -- for some reason I find it amusing. Makes me think they are have appetizers before their main meal ;)
