Turkey Vultures Flying Over

We have many Turkey Vultures in town lately and they soar over the playground often.  I taught the kindergartners how Turkey Vultures mostly eat dead animals. They are very large birds with a wing span shaped like the letter V.  When they fly they are tip-py unlike the 

                 Bald Eagle with his straight wings that are not tip-py.  Turkey Vultures make a hissing sound. They don't have any feathers on their head.  The Turkey Vultures will be

                         migrating south soon as they are not equipped to eat frozen carrion/dead animals.  There is no need to be afraid of this huge bird as they are harmless.

Here are some of the kids trying to soar like a vulture.
