This is for the Birds

If the movie "The Birds" freaked you out, you would not like hanging out at Bipsy's place. For a while there were like 30 turkey vultures hanging out in her trees. It was like the swallows landing at Capistrano, only vultures.

Here's a close up I got of two of them in the trees:

I got one flying off into the sunset:

Finally, here's the neatest thing....they decided that I was getting on their nerves taking pictures, so they flew to Bipsy's neighbor's property and they all picked a fence post to perch on. They sat, staring up at her house, like they were collectively going to keep a keen eye on me. Yesterday when I went up, they had moved on. Not one of them were anywhere to be seen. They had been there for a couple of weeks, but it must have just been a temporary rest stop. The coolest thing about them is the sound it made when they all took off flying at once. Like the rushing of a thousand wings. I tried to get it on video, but it was not meant to be.
