Today John & I were driving on Warren Rd. about 11:35 a.m.. As we passed the end of the airport runway I noticed a lone turkey vulture with a bright white left wing heading back towards Cayuga Mall. I quickly pulled to the roadside & watched it. The sun had come out so the mostly white wing really glistened, just as Chris T-Hymes said in his post on the 6th.
This was an amazingly beautiful & surprising sight .... something I never thought I'd say about a vulture ....... so anyone up in that area, keep an eye out. I probably wouldn't have paid much attention if not for Chris' post. Probably would just have thought the sun was making the wing look whitish. So ... THANKS, Chris.
