In the “downtown"’ Village of Croton, the vultures are back in large numbers (certainly more than 100 birds this a.m.)—roosting in trees at corner of Grand Street and Old Post Road as well as just up the block at Croton High School or around the corner at Holy Name of Mary Church. Mostly Turkey Vultures; but plenty of Black Vultures as well (no King) — 7:00-7:30 am seems best before they take off (time will change as light does). If in the area be sure to stop in for a coffee, latte or some such, and pastry at The Black Cow Coffee Cow right on Old Post Road. Great coffee and the antithesis of Starbucks.
