Riding the uprising currents of air on unmnoving wings, they were gaining altitude before soaring off again toward ana ther thermal, on their migration south. 1 was quite impressed, as I have neyer seen this number of vuitures together in Onta rio before. For those not familiar with thein our Turkey Vultures are fairly easy to spot. In flight they are big black birds with wingspans of two metres (six feet). They soar holding their wings in a shallow' "YV" while rocking gently from side to side. Their ability to soar without moving their wings is quite noticeable. When the vultures are seen directly overhead, the colour of the underside of the wings is diagnostic of the species. The fore parts of the wings are black, while the hind parts are a much lighter grey. This gives the wings a two- tone effect that is easy ta spot. If the birds are low enough you wil also see that the head is bath red and bald. The Turkey Vulture is Canada's onlynative vulture species.
