vulture roost



I am continuing my observation of the communication tower with the vultures
on I40 and this morning, there were several that were sunning.  I am
wondering if vultures are just drying their wings from the night's dew or do
they reduce their body temp in cold weather and are warming up before taking
off.  They are unprotected from the elements on this tower and I even wonder
why they roost there except for the fact that to get into flight they just
have to spread their wings and jump.
