(near Devil's Punchbowl) at 12:12 PM and crossed Dewitt Rd. (near Vinemount Conservation Area) at 12:44 PM. Had stepped off the Bruce Trail and was near the RR track when I saw the vulture coming from the East and just slightly south of the tracks. It passed overhead no further than 50 yds. and probably much closer to 40 yds at 12:24 PM. Observed the bird without binoculars. It had a silvery patch at the end of both wings and had a gray head. Also noted the short, squarish tail. The vulture continued to fly along the RR tracks westbound until it was out of sight. I was at the Hamburg Hawkwatch with William Watson Sr. on Monday 3/22/04 and saw the Black Vulture pass then. Have seen hundreds of Black Vultures when living in MD and VA. > _______________________________________________ > GeneseeBirds-L mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.geneseo.edu/mailman/listinfo/geneseebirds-l >
