On Sat. 9/27, at ~ 0930, a lone Turkey Vulture flew over the active horseshoe pits at the Saddle Lake Condominiums, Middle Rd., Riverhead - an E. Phoebe was also a spectator to these games for a short while ( ~ 8 "tail-dips" in duration ) ! The "flybys" occurred when I was driving on Middle Rd., Riv.and passed 4 W.Turkeys who were feeding at the side of the road (just w/o Mill Rd.) early Sat. night, as well as 1 feeding at ~ the same time of day, on the previous day (Fri., 9/26), at the confluence of Middle Rd., Horton Ave, and Osborne Ave, Riverhead - all 5 of these birds appeared to be young "toms".
