Turkey Vultures over west Centennial

[KevyG...@aol.com]

Winter is waning, and here comes the cleanup crew!  I saw 5+ Turkey Vultures circling low over the vicinity of Arapahoe Road & University Blvd ~ 10:30 this morning.  A half hour later I saw 5 again, circling over Dry Creek Road & Holly Street and continuing in a generally southeastern direction.   Possibly the same birds...

I'd add to this that I saw 10 Turkey Vultures over Marjorie Perry Nature Preserve. They appeared to be drifting east over (give or take) E. Belleview Ave. While this is in Greenwood Village, it's near enough to west Centennial to be pertinent to Kevin's observations.

Also at the preserve was my first Wood Duck of the year, several Red-tailed Hawks, and a potential Say's Phoebe pair. (Are they paired up at this point? I've seen two seemingly feeding "together" a couple of times at the preserve this week.)

I observed four circling while in my car at E. Bellevue & S. University Thursday around 3:15. They were headed southeast. That would send them towards the aforementioned locations.
