Kettle or Committee?


From Wikipedia: Unlike many raptors, vultures are relatively social and often feed, fly or roost in large flocks. A group of vultures is called a committee, venue or volt. In flight, a flock of vultures is a kettle, and when the birds are feeding together at a carcass, the group is called a wake.
On Saturday, on my way out of Luck, I noticed a large group of birds soaring over a marshy area.
 When I got home, I looked up what to call this group.
So, a Kettle of Vulchers.
I think when we were kids we called these birds Buzzards,maybe that was a result of a Looney Toon cartoon.I was lucky to pass by at the right time to see this Kettle.Life is good.
