There's a roost of BLACK VULTURES visible from the New Baltimore Thruway Rest Stop parking area.
This evening I counted 10 of them at the very highest horizontal components of a cell-tower visible by looking to the north and slightly west of the parking area. The tower can also be seen from the outside of the thruway property from NYS Rt. 144, where the railroad tracks cross, just east of Rt. 9-W.
