Just before the second snow shower started, as the clouds rolled in, about 100 Turkey Vultures rode the wind over my office building in Silver Spring. I watched the last of them float by and then the snow started within 2 minutes. Coworkers asked me if they were trying to escape the storm. I assumed they were just being pushed by it.

I just returned from lunch and saw three Turkey Vultures above southern DuPont Circle. I'm sure they are out there, but I don't get to see them very often. The high buildings tend to block my view. Perhaps the snow flurries this morning blew in some country birds.
