Turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) are found year-round in all areas of Sutter County and all areas below approximately 2,000 feet in Yuba County—in other words, from approximately Dobbins downward. During the summer, they temporarily extend their range to encompass all of both counties. This turkey vulture is shown flying above Sicard Flat. Photo by queerbychoice.
