Those are the "Black Vultures". A bit smaller and different wing set went flying or riding the currents.

We have between 20 - 30 that fly around the neighborhood and roost on the WW II blimp hangar behind my house. They seem to like the updrafts that the blimp hangar offers. Often in the mornings they are on the east side facing the sun to warm (I assume).

Are those eagles?

 

[SamW]

Yes sir. Young and mature Bald Eagles.

 

[mdengraver]

Wow! Unusual so many in one place!

 

[SamW]

I once counted 60 eagles circling over a fish cannery on the edge of Kodiak. Quite a sight!

I know this is moving way off from an engraving topic and Im not trying to hijack the thread but this might be of some interest regarding the blimp hangar. The hangar is almost 200 ft tall and 1000 feet long. In the photo I circled a couple of vultures flying over the hangar to give an idea of size.
