Took this pic the other afternoon on my lunch walk.
These two turkey vultures were perching with wings spread.
I've seen cormorants doing this but it's a first time seeing turkey vultures doing it.
Cormorants do it to dry them themselves after diving for food, since they lack the waterproofing oils other water birds produce. So, makes perfect sense. However, turkey vultures do not dive in water for food, so what's the deal? My guess is they do it to warm themselves up and give them an energy boost.
Whatever the reason, they looked pretty cool sync'd up together.
