I had some larger birds visit my patio and bird feeder on Valentines Day. I’m not sure if the Black Crow visiting attracted the Turkey Vultures?

The Turkey Vultures keep getting closer. There were nearly 40 in my neighbor’s yard and trees before I went out to take some pictures. I don’t want them on my roof leaving their droppings on the solar panels!
