Turkey Vultures Get Wet Too - and can clue you to directions.

| Note the turkey vulture in the background. photo by Jonathan Schechter When clothes are wet you can hang them out to dry. When backpacking and I get soaked and the rains stop I will try to find a sunny area to let warming rays hit my back and work their magic. It's the same for turkey vultures. Just a few minutes after steady rains ended one of the three turkey vultures that frequent my meadow landed on a dead tree limb and spread wings wide, positioned to capture the sun. I could use this turkey vulture as a living compass, for it was late afternoon and the back side of the wings were facing west to the warming sun. I steadied the camera on the tractor and zoomed in~!  photo by Jonathan Schechter |

Wonderful shot!!! They are such an impressive bird to encounter.
Not an original comment Ulanawa, but in flight they are "poetry in motion"
One of my favorite birds--especially when hiking in the Appalachian Mts, and every once in a while I see when soaring beneath me.
