Vultures Can Dance in the Kansa Wind

The Kansa Wind drove some pioneers batty, I am sure...Now, three days of increasing wind broke last night with thunderstorms. When it is 10-20 mph in town, it is 35-60 sustained in the flint hills/osage questas. here are some youtubes to see hear for yourself: These were taken over the past 48 hours.

I took some video at the height of wind strength but it was so dark i'll have to change the exposure to see them. Here are some stills of the forlorn-looking birds, doing the thankless work with eyes painted on so sad-all an illusion.
