Golden…Vulture?

This morning the Turkey Vultures were winging their way to a nearby dead tree. This tree appears to be one of their favorite Overnight Roosting Spots. It's large but not large enough to accommodate the entire committee.

FYI…According to Wikipedia…"A group of Vultures is called a wake, committee,venue kettle or volt. The term kettle refers to Vultures in flight, while committee, volt, and venue refer to Vultures in trees."

So, as the Vultures who had Slumbered elsewhere last night flew to the Roosting Tree, their wing feathers caught the bright golden/orange light from the just risen sun. I've seen many Turkey Vultures but have never seen one in this light. I thought that perhaps it was just one bird that looked like that but later looking over all my shots, I saw that several of them took on that Glow.
