Turkey vultures riding a thermal. They can go hours without flapping doing this to conserve energy

They also make circles when they smell something dead in the area. It’s a good indicator of a dead body in a house in rural areas
It’s called kettling!
I once saw a raven pull its wings in while it was flying, do a 360 flip, and then spread its wings out again and catch the air. It was so cool to see a raven just loving life and doing stunts mid-flight
Sounds like they caught a thermal uprising and are just riding the wave.
They are flying in a circular, cone-shaped pattern.

They catch the wind and just glide around.

I get so jealous when I see them. I have flying dreams, always feel sad when I wake up. I want to go back to the dream and feel that freedom and awe for as long as I can.
Vultures conserving energy by riding a thermal.
Idk what kind of birds they are? But one thing I know they fly like this a little before it rains

That’s an interesting connection! Others have said they ride thermals to conserve energy. I suppose it would make sense for thermal currents to ascend before it rains. Once I saw a video of a cloud just before it started storming, it stretched way up high, like a skyscraper compared to its fellows. Someday I hope to learn all of the things.
Flying. I’m good at this.
They urinate on their feet to clean the rotten flesh off of them
The buzzards have finger-like feathers on the tips of their wings they smell something and are circling
They are eagles zoom in on then the wing tips are not finger like
