  • A group of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) circles over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon. The turkey vultures circled to catch rising pockets of hot air, known as thermals, which carried them higher in the sky.

  • A turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) soars over the Piedras Blancas State Marine Reserve and Marine Conservation Area near San Simeon, California. Turkey vultures, also known as turkey buzzards, are the most widespread of the New World vultures, found from southern Canada to the southern tip of South America. Turkey vultures are scavengers, using their keen sense of smell to detect the first signs of decay. They typically fly by using thermals to move through the air, flapping their wings infrequently.

  • The late afternoon sun brings out the golden color of the High Peaks in Pinnacles National Park, California. The High Peaks, some of which are nearly 2,500 feet (750 meters) tall, are partial remnants of the ancient Pinnacles volcano, shifted 190 miles north of its original location due to movement of the San Andreas Fault. Three turkey vultures are visible soaring in the sky above the saddle between two of the peaks.
