In North America, these Vultures are more migratory in the West than in the East, and many western birds are long-distance migrants that spend the winter in Central and South America. Turkey Vultures soar and glide extensively on thermals and mountain updrafts while migrating.
Do vultures migrate in the fall?
Turkey Vultures and raptors use the valley of Kelso Creek, Kern County, California, as a fall migration route, after roosting in the riparian forest along the South Fork Kern River.
What month do turkey vultures migrate?
In the US, you may see them as early as February or March. Unlike most of our returning birds, which migrate at night, Turkey Vultures migrate like hawks — in the daytime. They rise on warm spring updrafts, with a distinctive teeter from side to side. And then they glide — northbound.
