The annual turkey vulture migration has begun here in our Morongo Basin. Fall is here and the birds are moving from their summer breeding grounds in North America to the wintering grounds in Central and South America. As birds fly south they need places to rest and replenish on their way. Look up and you may see “kettles” of vultures swirling up into the sky. These birds travel up to 200 miles per day. A common sight in the evenings at this time of year, they can be seen in large numbers soaring close to the treetops looking for a roost. After a good night with pleasant dreams, they stretch wings, catching some morning rays before floating into the sky.
