"Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat, the more you toot,
The more you toot, the better you feel
So let’s have beans for every meal!"

You Scared the "toot toots" out of the beans and they flew off that shelf...!!!

The version I heard was,
Beans, beans, the musical tart.
The more you eat, the more you fart.
The more you fart, the better you feel,
so let's eat beans at every meal.

At the trailhead this afternoon. We didn't get very far, the creek that the trail crosses was too high to go through today.

River is over its banks. That's a walking trail underwater. The other side of town has some pretty impressive flooding happening too.

Hopefully it'll still be there when the water goes down! A boat ramp a little south of here washed out yesterday.

Turkey Vultures roosting near my house this morning.

We had one actually nest in a closet in our old milkhouse a number of years ago. The closet ceiling went up to the roof line of the building, and the building was so old that some of the side boards were missing. So the vulture got in, laid an egg in the bottom of the closet, and it hatched. We saw the babe when it was getting pretty big. Shocked the heck out of us all. I would open the closet door and peek about once a week. I called it Precious. Ha. Was worried it was going to freak out and regurgitate vomit on me. When it looked big enough to fly, I left the door open. It started roosting in the milkhouse outside of the closet. Then I left the milkhouse door open. Our neighbor helped us by sealing up the area that it used to come in from the roofline. That turkey vulture was something else!

We have a lot of Turkey Vultures in this area. They make nests on the huge power line towers. Years ago we had a Border Collie that would bring home baby vultures that fell from the nests! The really young ones (without feathers) had a bluish black skin! Really creepy!!

Around here the vultures only come around in spring and summer. And usually only in the valleys.

Earlier this week while I was working, I looked out the window and watched a group of vultures congregate on my neighbor's house. Two of them perched on her chimney and a half dozen more where hopping around on her roof close to the chimney. My mind went directly to "What are they smelling and why are they congregating around her chimney?"

So I texted her to see if she was alive.

She wasn't even home. An hour or so later they moved on.

What died?

Since we don't have vultures here in the winter, the magpies, ravens and bald eagles clean up the road kill.

About 5 years ago I was my way back from the hobby house and pulled to record this.



Think they were turkey vultures but not sure.

What died?

There is a creek right there so not sure. Nothing on the road but they’ve been there off and on about two weeks.

This is a suburban area, plus it’s agin’ the law to shoot them here.

I've never seen turkey vultures congregating like that, but I have seen black vultures do that.
I can't really see any details very well, but from what I can tell they look more like black vultures.
Black vultures have a dark gray to black head. They are more interested in fish than turkey vultures are. They don't have the super devleoped sense of smell like the turkey vultures so they hunt more by sight than by smell.

Welcome back to the vulture thread. Went out for pizza and saw them starting to roost again so when I got home I grabbed the camera and tried to get some close-up shots. They’re turkey vultures.
