>From my office desk I am witnessing a large movement of Turkey Vultures.
The first group had about 60 birds in a tight kettle all circling and
gaining altitude over Greenstar. A second group of about 15 was close
behind. A third group of 13 came a few minutes later, then another two. V.
200-300 TVs as a flock, not a kettle, gliding on strong SSW winds over western
Syracuse yesterday early evening, somewhat strung out but definitely a group
traveling together, all coasting, no flapping. Unbelievably beautiful!
[previous post said "NNE winds"; sorry]

There is a kettle of about 100 turkey vultures circling over Varna at the
moment. 4 PM. Quite impressive!

There are currently hundreds of turkey vultures over the compost area and along
Stevenson Road in Ithaca. They are in the sky, in the trees, on the fence
posts, and every place.

From my office window on Esty St in Ithaca, I can see lots of Turkey
Vultures flying south. It's been a constant sequence of clumps for the
past hour. I've counted about 60, but there are probably very many more
that I can't see.

There are two big groups of turkey vultures over and around the Cornell game
farm on Stevenson road. No black vultures so far.

I counted 47 turkey vultures streaming over our house heading southeast around
1:30 today. They were in groups of 3-10. Hunt Hill Rd, east of Ithaca. In the
yard today are a few ruby-crowned kinglets, white throated sparrows and one
blue headed vireos who was singing ( along with the very
Late this afternoon there were 9 TVs circling low (tree top height) at the
intersection of Falls Rd and Cayuga View Rd north of Taug. S.P.
A little bit north on Cayuga View there were 2 Killdeers next to the road
between the cornfields, probable nesters based on past year's experience.

I just looked above my computer screen, I saw a huge flock of TVs heading
south. I counted so far 35 there are more coming. At least 12 more are circling
over and still being joined by more. May be a Black Vulture I might see today.

I am viewing a constant stream of turkey vultures from the Johnson Museum
lobby. What a gorgeous day!

2 TVs sitting on my shop roof. Ominous sign. A third on a branch over the
shop. Don't think I will work in the shop today. May be a good Idea to check
behind the barns for something dead or dying. Hope it's the neighbor's
killer cat. Hope the neighbor is not on this listserv.
Bill McAneny,
I hate to see people expressing violence toward cats but I understand.
I keep my cats indoors. It keeps area wildlife safe from them and them
safe from area wildlife (including speeding cars and roving dogs, by
some of which [dogs], I have been attacked while biking.)
But my neighbors let both
?Just as sun was low in the west, I watched 11 Turkey Vultures circle in the
Six Miles Creek valley form my living room window while making some soup. They
circled for about 10 minutes before disappearing, what I think was roosting
down in the valley for the night.

The Turkey Vultures have been reappearing in numbers this week over my house
and woods and landing in the pines on Asbury Rd just east of the cemetery
(corner of Triphammer and Asbury) and occasionally in the neighbors’ large
pines next to our sunroom.
We have had resident pair or two all
Hi all,
I watched about a dozen of TVs heading south, but none of them had white wing
feathers.

Two Turkey Vultures just flew by my Rhodes Hall office window nice and close
... one was scratching it's head with its foot as it glided by. Amusing sight.

While driving up the lower portion of Sand Bank Rd the last two days, there
has been a Red-tailed Hawk feeding on a deer carcass right next to the
road. I can't recall ever seeing a Red-tail feed on a deer carcass before.
