In Saskatchewan, there seems to be an increasing population of Turkey Vultures, which now nest in abandoned barns and other buildings, as opposed to their traditional caves and natural crannies.
Part of the fun of spotting these large birds in flight is the chance to look for wing tags — which these particular birds lacked. So we don't know where they were born, but here they are, flying over Walsh Acres, Regina, Saskatchewan.
Magnificent — and to my mind, tropical — backyard birds.
What are these? Turkey Vultures |

Pair of turkey vultures sitting in a big spruce tree right now on stapleford cr in regent park Regina. Saw them flying but couldn't see any tags. They're sunning themselves now sitting on a branch with wings wide open. May 13 2023.
