Interesting that you saw a Turkey Vulture today. I thought I saw one this afternoon (4ish) soaring over West SHore Rd near Pall Corp. (that would be just on the other side of the harbor). I was driving and it was rather impractical to grab the binocs. But I'm sure that it was not a crow/raven or hawk. Also - I am positive I've seen raven from a distance in that area (NCMA). And I know I've heard calls that were NOT crow. Have to get over and see that exhibit. And those grounds are a terrific place to take a walk. Best Sue
