Re: buzzards
My guess is they were congregating to enjoy the thermals and/or other wind currents that were no doubt starting to peak as our cold front started to move in/pass through?
I've seen large kettles of hawks and vultures, sometimes even mixed flocks, soaring in wind currents. Heck, we've had to dodge vultures when flying at 3,000 feet in a Cessna, before, so they can and do like to enjoy the airspace... sometimes in good numbers, though what you saw was definitely on the rare side -- especially if it was entirely or predominantly vultures, not hawks.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing the experience!
