Let the migration begin!

  

Our morning coffee-on-the-deck entertainment.

 

Seventy-five anhingas rising in a kettle and then gliding off south! 

 

 

Anhingas don't really have a big north-south range, but they do move farther south in the fall.

 

Then, later, a kettle of black vultures forms before heading south as well.

 

They have a bigger range than the anhingas.  On the range map it doesn't even appear that they migrate, but some move north and south within their range anyway.  Or maybe they were just inspired by the anhingas and had to mimic them.

 

And a single crested caracara come up to look.

 

I know, it's only August, but Fall migration, for big soaring birds anyway, is on!
