Vultures
In West Arlington, along Green Oaks north of Lamar, vultures gather on the electrical tower every evening around sunset. Around 4 pm you won't see a single bird, but as the sun sets the tower will be completely covered with them.
It's hard to get a decent photograph because I can't get very close to the tower, and of course it's beginning to get dark before the birds show up.
I don't know if these are black vultures or turkey vultures . . . both have been spotted by bird watchers at the nearby Village Creek Drying Beds.
