Large Flock of Turkey Vulturs, Bear Valley, Denver County

[Brian Johnson]

Hi,

While coming out of the King Supers at Bear Valley shopping area, Dartmouth and Sheridan, just south of Fort Logan Cemetery, I witnessed a hug kettle of Turkey Vultures circling over the area, 31 in total. I used to work at the library across the street before my promotion moved me to anther branch and I used watched the vultures in the area. There sometimes can been a large group in the late morning, but this is a new record. Before I got twenty as a record. I believe it's popular with them because of Bear Creek valley creates nice thermals. This was at 10:27 am. Vultures don't always have a good rep, unfairly, but I just love to watch them soar. They are so majestic. It must be amazing to soar like that.

Good birding

I live just up the hill from there, and huge kettles of TVs have been quite common for some years now.  Along Sheridan, up towards Yale from the shopping center, is their spot.
