You never know -

what one might see looking out the window -

across the street -
a Vulture Convention -
if they would stop flying in and out -
would have an accurate count -
Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) -

the Cleaning Crew of Nature -

- from Wikipedia
"This vulture is often seen standing in a spread-winged stance. The stance is believed to serve multiple functions: drying the wings, warming the body, and baking off bacteria. It is practiced more often following damp or rainy nights."

with all the rain we have had -
that makes sense -

the photo of the Juncos -
gives a contrast to the sizes of these birds

Happy New Year to you, also ..

Since all these shots were through double-pane glass, would anyone like to come wash the windows .. they aren't the ones I was used to in Florida .. could tilt and wash.

I look at these and sigh ... okay, what angle will show the least spots ....

I suppose they have to convocate somewhere!
That reminds me that I haven't paid my Griffon vulture friends a visit in quite some time! A mission for April, May or early June I think, when I can combine it with some Alpine meadow spring floral carpets.
Super collage, Peggy!

A lovely collage. Yesterday I looked out of the window to find a male pheasant in my garden! I hope he comes back today.
