They've been acting different lately. Normally you just see one or two somewhere in the sky at any given time of day once the thermals start. A few weeks ago I was sitting in the recliner watching the news and started seeing these shadows dance across the window. I got up and looked to see 2 dozen vultures just sitting in a tree and another dozen circling over the garage. I went to check the pasture. There were no injured or dead animals, so I went back in to rest and a vulture landed on the gable of the garage, outside my window and started staring at me. He flicked his head around a few times in a way that sure looked like he was looking in the window right at me as if to ask, "Are you done with that liver yet?"
He sat there for 20 minutes staring in the window at me. It was starting to creep me out. They seem to have moved here to roost at night in a big flock. I've never seen them do this before. Maybe they decided ours was a nice place because we don't hassle them. I know some farmers shoot at them with shotguns out of fear. When my daughter came home last week and helped me butcher a ram we left what was left of the head and skin out for them. They ate it and most of them have left. It's like they were waiting a couple of weeks for an offering.
