Don Baccus made the following comment:

"Turkey Vultures typically migrate in smallish kettles in our area. By the
time they get down to Veracruz, Mexico the kettles reach stupendous size."

Apparently Veracruz gets over 1,000,000 TUVUs going through each fall -
that's amazing!

My question is, do our Turkey Vultures ever get to Veracruz, or do they just
end up in California or western Mexico for the winter. Anybody know?
