to Colorado Birds

At 6 AM I looked at the pre-dawn silhouette of a large bird through my skylight, assuming it would be a Red-Tail. But then it turned its head and the outline of that beak looked just like a Turkey Vulture! So I went outside and discovered 27 TV's roosting in my neighbor's trees. In 60 years living in Englewood I've never seen more than an occasional high fly-over, so 27 roosting birds was quite an anomaly. (The 2 Cooper's hawks building a nest in the next tree over didn't seem to care for their presence.)
