That was news to us!
We went outside to investigate. She was right! There had to have been 50 or more of them on the ground and in the live oaks. James got ahead of me and took the video (below). He also took the photos. Sadly, a white-tailed deer (probably a yearling) must have been hit and died in the Meadow. We are letting Mother Nature's cleaner-uppers take care of the carcass.

There used to be over 100 in a rockery behind us.They liked the electric poles, which got replaced by the new, sleek poles. One day, some were hopping on our roof. I looked out the kitchen window at the sink to see a vulture peering at me from the roof! That was such a surprise! I enjoyed it for a moment, then went for the camera, but the bird was gone.
They are actually smart birds, and they remember faces. It is very interesting.
I think they're so cool! And funny, too, the way they hop and walk. They sure are important in our ecosystems!
We have been seeing so many flying over our house the last couple of days! Now we know where they’ve been hanging out!
