Early morning walk around Woodland Hills preserve. Lots of wildflowers blooming here and I worked with my iNaturalist app to ID them. Weather was cloudy and a couple of times the wind kicked up and dark clouds rolled through. I thought it might storm, but there was no thunder and it never did. Half way through my walk on the inner loop, I saw a tree full of over a dozen black vultures. They were perched high over head and soaring back and forth between the tall trees. I walked right under them and took a few photos. They just watched me as though they were just as curious about me as I was with them. It was a really nice surprise seeing these beauties up close.
