Birds of the Valley

Last week, while walking at dusk, Chris and I were amazed by a large flock of turkey buzzards circling the neighborhood in search of a place to roost for the night.  The group of at least 200 birds silently glided lower and lower as the evening closed in.  I've never seen so many large birds flying so close to the ground.  It was so fascinating that Chris and I stopped and laid on a stranger's lawn so we could watch the spectacle. 

 

The Rio Grande Valley is a very fascinating place for bird watching.
