This morning, on my way to work, I saw something unusual high in a tree a block east of my house. Two turkey vultures perched in the branches in a tree right next to the road. I could see through the leafless boughs at their red heads. I drove slowly, peering up at them through my windshield. And I could see their heads turning to watch the progress of my car. I've seen turkey vultures 10 miles north of here but never in my neighborhood before. This was a really cool way to start the day.
