Turkey Vultures are commonly seen circling high above Furman University throughout the year. These birds spend most of their time soaring in search of carrion, and often glide over parts of campus. Turkey Vultures do follow migration routes, and can sometimes be seen circling in groups of 50-60 individuals in spring and fall.
