When I have been walking in the mornings, just as the sun is coming up, I have seen turkey vultures facing the rising sun with their wings stretched either partially or completely extended. I finally was able to get a fair picture of what I call "morning vulture yoga."
On my usual daily walk along I was able to use Merlin and the call ID feature to tell whether I was seeing the raven I thought I was or if I was seeing a crow. Their calls are very different. I was happy to verify that it was a raven.
I live near a river and at the edge of walnut orchards so I get to see a lot of wild life. This is a shot of one ospreys that have a nest that I have been observing while on walks. I watched them last year every day while we were in lock down as well as when they returned this spring.
