At ~ 1530, while traveling n/e on Northville Turnpike, Riverhead, a male N.Harrier came charging across the road, after passing by an old potato barn at a height no more than half way up the barn - a real "pick-er up a" ! Awhile afterward, between 1600-1615, there were 22 Turkey Vultures on or around the Roanoke Ave Elementary School Roost, Riverhead. There were a total of 9 birds sitting on its chimney ledge, or flying nearby. Another 4 were in the spruces that sit right across the road, along the north property line of the Riverhead Firehouse. There were also 9 "T.V's." in the spruces that sit between the 1st and 2nd houses, on the w/s of Griffing Ave, just s/o Lincoln Ave.
