The poor things huddle together in bushes trying to keep warm.<br /><br />Harvey says this is the coldest January we have had in years.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528131528437891343.post-44824569555607250972014-01-05T15:31:11.188-08:002014-01-05T15:31:11.188-08:00http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/turkey_vulture/...http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/turkey_vulture/IDschizoozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751228099616493376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528131528437891343.post-24475246297541752582014-01-05T12:22:50.813-08:002014-01-05T12:22:50.813-08:00Hi Jess!

During the summer flocks of them come by the dozens from the distant about the same time every night. I'm wondering if they'll stay perched in those trees on Tuesday when temps are suppose to be record low. Glad you came to visit here!Carrie Garvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531326000051734111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528131528437891343.post-45783514955677775292014-01-05T12:00:24.817-08:002014-01-05T12:00:24.817-08:00Hello!

They will often sit on the roofs of our houses and clomp around making lots of noise. And they poop on the roof which can be destructive. I read a lot about them when we started having lot sod them a few years ago. They seem to come and go from the houses on our street, but always seem to be in those trees. The only thing I've heard that can get rid of them is loud noise. But my neighbor's dog doesn't bark at them, and I don't think anyone wants to hear me out there with an air horn.<br />I'm excited to follow your blog; welcome to the neighborhood!Jesshttp://deicioushappylife.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528131528437891343.post-89208594682288013042014-01-05T06:46:51.270-08:002014-01-05T06:46:51.270-08:00Thank you for responding Denise!

Yes it appears they may be buzzards because, as you've mentioned, they gather in groups and circle slowly... kind of creepy in a way, especially at sunset when flocks of them are heading in this way....Carrie Garvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531326000051734111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528131528437891343.post-36897390519643490102014-01-05T06:36:36.380-08:002014-01-05T06:36:36.380-08:00they do resemble buzzards.

I can't really make out the heads which in a buzzard are extremely "homely". they do tend to gather in groups. if you see them circling slowly overhead then I would definitely say buzzard. they usually hit the trees to roost. they are probably looking for food and they'll eat on ANYTHING - they are the road-kill clean up crew. Not sure why they are in the cold frozen north, I've never studied their migration habits. Denise Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17344350305178743839noreply@blogger.com
