Find 4-5 thousand vultures continuing their migration tomorrow morning September 26th. The vultures came into Audubon's Kern River Preserve in Weldon tonight. They will begin taking off tomorrow morning starting around 7:30 and ending around 10 a.m. if they remain true to form.
Anyone in the area, this is a sight that seasoned vulture watchers have never experienced.

13th Annual Kern Valley Turkey Vulture Festival
Kern Valley Turkey Vulture Festival - September 28-30, 2007
The schedule for the vulture festival is shaping up with some fun new events added this year. Sierra Vista Restaurant near the best South Fork Vulture Roost will serve a special RoadKill Quiche and Compost Fruit Salad for the vultures and substitute fresh ingredients for humans who would like to enjoy breakfast while watching the spectacle of the morning vulture lift off. In the evening they will serve vulture stew for those who want to watch the vulture drop in. Additional chairs will be set up outside their patio, so there should be room for everyone.
Several field trips are planned and are filling up fast so reserve your spot now.
