I don't believe in man made global warming that is man made. I have been blessed to live in one of the hot spots in southern Bc and I have spent 55 of my life in these hot summers and about 20 years ago the sun changed from yellow to white light. You may think I'm a flake to say this but I live my life out side in the summer! Back to what I want to say where in Canada do turkey vulture stay year round? I take it they are even breading here and have no desire to leave.
Down here in the banana belt of Ontario, they do not stay, so I highly doubt they spend winters in any part of Canada. We see them flock up in late fall, and arrive again in early spring, around here anyway.......if this is what you are asking !Quote:

From your area , they may only migrate as far south as southern Washington state, it all depends on the severity of the winter .Quote:

There was one sitting on a dead deer on January 15>2016 as my wife said!
I have seen a few eagles sitting on a dead deer this week .I could see a big female eagle being mistaken for something else well driving by. No mistake the big males ...lol
NO! My wife has very good eyes .
The sun has always and will always be white. The variation we see in its colour have to do with atmospheric effect on white light.
"The Sun's color is white, with a CIE color-space index near (0.3, 0.3), when viewed from space or when high in the sky; when low in the sky, atmospheric scattering renders the Sun yellow, red, orange, or magenta. Despite its typical whiteness, most people mentally picture the Sun as yellow; the reasons for this are the subject of debate.[46] The Sun is a G2V star, with G2 indicating its surface temperature of approximately 5,778 K (5,505 °C, 9,941 °F), and V that it, like most stars, is a main-sequence star.[47][48] The luminance of the Sun is about 1.88 giga candela per square metre, but as viewed through Earth's atmosphere, this is lowered to about 1.44 Gcd/m2.[49]
NO!> I have spent my life out there and don't tell me I'm nuts !> you can say this and that but the sun has gone from yellow to white!
As the sun. I m talking frank> 20 years ago at the low point >dec 21> I would sit out side on the south side and get very little heat from the sun ! But I could sit now on the south side in dec 2016 and for many years >even the air is very cold the sun is HOT!
Climate has changed in south Bc but its not from man>its from the SUN!
Must be old age getting to you. Next thing you'll be seeing turkey vultures in January.

There are some Turkey Vultures that do winter over as long as they have a good food supply. They are mainly found near dumps in the winter.
Its also well known that there has been a drastic increase in the amount of THC compared to years past can have a direct effect on the colouration of the sun.
