In the fall the eagles fly from the River (Mississippi) and overwinter here. I noticed a couple flying overhead yesterday. The turkey vultures have migrated and will return next spring. A lot of deer hunting happens in our area and the vultures and eagles scavenge the leftover carcasses. I had never seen an eagle in the wild until about 40 years ago and saw one on the way to town one early spring morning. Now it is a very common sight. What a treat to live on the flyway, MB!
