I guess it was not a kettle, since they mostly just sat in trees. Perhaps they were a committee. Not the prettiest bird around, but they certainly have a place in our environment with their highly developed sense of smell.
Here is a kettle of one, perhaps a teapot? In any case, these birds are masters of soaring flight.
I found these birds in a field off Clark Pond Road this morning.
Here is a view of the committee.
