Saturday a.m.surprise: a flight of about 6 to 8 Vultures, mostly
Turkey circled our hilly areaway above east side of Cayuga Lake for
about an hour. Then I discovered 6 of them in our garden bushes and
and trees consuming remains of several small 4 legged bodies out on
theatgrass near the trees for an hour or 2. Later in the day and
still today I noticed several Vultures continuing to scope the whole
hillside from lake shore to hill tops.
On a new note our first Robins have arrived yesterday evening and
the Goldfinch crowd has began to show bright gold colors.
The usual spring flow of Northern Mockingbirds with their
distinctive, repetitive songs have not caught my attention yet, tho'
the weather seems right. I will have to listen on the hills to watch
their usual up-hill spring drift and expression of mating calls.....
