Where are the Turkey Vultures?

Although I have now seen around 40 TV's flying by.. I have yet to see one circling in the Lakes Region.. that is staying here.  I think the ones I saw must have been heading towards another area.

Do Turkey Vultures migrate from NH

A member from Nottinham,nh on nh bird server wrote :  
"I see post regularly about FOY Turkey Vultures. Over the course of the year I see them very regularly, including all winter, even January and Feb I get shots of them on deer carcasses. Are they truly a still considered migratory species? "
In the Lakes Region, I have not seen any Turkey Vultures over the winter months  until just recently.
As previously posted, other members of nh bird have seen TV's around in the Exeter, NH area all yesr.  If you go to the sight below, you will see other information on TV,s as well as a migratory map.

Returning Turkey Vultures Spring 2014

On March 21st a friend pointed out some Turkey vultures flying over the Elmstreet Bridge end of Paugus Bay.  9 vultures were counted.  Today, I counted 30 flying over in just about the same place.  They were flying/gliding in a fairly straight line.

When will they return?

Here it is March 16th.  Everytime I hear or read that one of the members of the nh bird group has seen a turkey vulture, I look around at the sky near where I live.. one member wrote that she saw 2 Turkey Vultures in Hooksett and 3 today on Concord/Bow line along the Merrimack.  Still no turkey vultures in the Lakes Region that I have heard about or noticed.  Maybe this week.... if it warms up... :)
