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

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 ....

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!
