A lovely snapshot of a day in your part of the world, Sandy. I find time moves more slowly and gently when I take notice of the natural world around me. Like your black vultures, we have a pair of currawongs here in South Australia that return every year to built their nest and raise their young. Thank you for sharing your day and your reflections.

Good morning, Glyn, from this side of the globe! Thank you for your comment and for reading. What an amazing thing.... to connect on Substack about nature and birds from all over the world! I had to look up currawong and am excited to learn more. Thanks again!
It is indeed a wonderful thing to be connecting with people around the world through appreciation for nature! I’ve only been on Substack a short time but have already learnt so much about a whole variety of things outside of my own experience. For one thing, I didn’t know vultures of any kind lived in North America and laid their eggs on the ground. My strongest memory about vultures is from watching them sing and speak in English accents in Disney’s original animation The Jungle Book 25 years ago when my kids were young! Yours have a different way of communicating I see. :)
I enjoyed this multi-media immersion into a southern summer. Sounds and smells are equally as evocative as sights. The prompt is amazing. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Julie! I'm glad the prompt resonated for you too. I so appreciate you taking the time to read and sharing your thoughts!
