Despite living on the edge of White Rock Lake, I also happen to live directly behind a hospital.

Just now as I stood in the garage watching landscapers butcher shrubbery that once hid a rather ugly fence, I noticed some large birds circling above the hospital.

They were vultures.

I’m not sure of the species given the contrast between a cloudy sky and dark plumage, but I know for certain they were vultures.

Several of them.

Circling above the hospital.
