On my walk home from work yesterday evening (in daylight now that the clocks have changed), I saw TURKEY VULTURES slowly gathering in the air and kettling over downtown Ithaca. My maximum count from the corner of Meadow, Fulton, Clinton about 6pm was 41, but they were hard to keep track of, and there may have been more. Then they seemed to disperse, but when I got home I was able to see 13 of them as I looked east from my yard. Today about 5pm as I biked south on NYS-89 I saw the latest of 6 of them land in the large willows along the inlet just south of the dock for the dragon boats. Maybe there was a dead fish in the area that the ice melt has revealed. I saw GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS working on dead fish in Treman Marina.--Dave NutterOn Mar 12, 2013, at 06:46 PM, "Judith W.
