They were indeed! Just as we were heading out on our bike ride. Bird #8 out of my daily 30 (and not seen since last spring).

Subject: [IBLE] A fine kettle of Turkey Vultures – over Boise’s North End

This morning (9/27/17) about 10:15 I spotted a few soaring birds, leading up to a gathering of about 12, soaring over Boise’s North End. They did the circling-at-different-levels thing, then before I could get to my good camera, they had headed south, stringing out in something more like single file. The iPhone out-the-upstairs-window was the shot that will have to do, and thinking back they may have been kettling directly over Tom McCabe’s house!

See link below – hummingbirds rock!

But so do magpies – we had one go off in the dark recently, 0600 hrs. Way better than any alarm clock!
