My apologies (in my haste) for saying "Susan" since Susan said "Black Vulture" whereas Dave said "Turkey". Indeed, Dave & I had some discussion last Dec. about me questioning whether I had actually seen the partial white wing. Seems he also had seen it & confirmed my sighting, that it wasn't just a pattern on the wing caused by the late afternoon sunlight. (I REALLY can't remember the exact conversation & didn't have it in my records.)
Last I knew, the speed limit on Rte. 13 was 55 mph & it's illegal to use a hand held device so Susan had an (il)legal excuse for her honest error but doubt it would have held up under the scrutiny of the man in the crisp blue uniform. Yes, I know, it's easy to fly with a gas pedal since we don't have wings ... (hopefuly we will merit them someday!) fb -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
