I live in the May Valley area between Renton and Issaquah. I went outside to sit in the sun yesterday afternoon and was fortunate to see a large number of migrating Turkey Vultures and a few other birds. At 1430 a flock of 80 birds flew past in a long line that stretched at least a mile. Between 1430 and 1530 I saw passing flocks of 43, 14 ,12, 10, 43, and 9 vultures, for a total of 211 birds. Also seen were 7 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, a Coopers Hawk and a single Bald Eagle. We typically see <10 Turkey Vultures a year from the house so I was surprised to see so many.
