They're massive as hell, so the first time I ever saw them, I had no idea what they were. Birds just aren't that big around here. So I thought maybe they were some kind of eagle, except I thought eagles were more solitary. I saw a bunch in a park where I was walking and everyone just stopped to stare at them. I managed to snap a few pictures of them.
My then-roommate's then-boyfriend was an avid birder, so I asked him, and he was like, "oh, just turkey vultures." I guess, expecting me to be disappointed. Which I wasn't because that was somehow even more rad.
Okay this is not much of a story but it was still very exciting to me at the time.
