The largest known concentration of Turkey Vultures during migration in the United States and Canada occurs during the last week in September and the first week in October near Weldon, California. During the Kern Valley Vulture Festival between 1,000 and 4,000 Turkey Vultures are sighted daily.

Feeding
Diet: Mostly carrion. Feeds mainly on dead animals, preferring those recently dead (that is, relatively fresh carrion). Occasionally feeds on decaying vegetable matter, live insects, or live fish in drying-up ponds.
Behavior: Seeks carrion by soaring over open or partly wooded country, watching the ground and the actions of other scavengers. Can also locate some carrion by odor: unlike most birds, has a well-developed sense of smell.
(maybe you'd want to chuck that old, polypro shirt IGO...)
