There was a recent question about a turkey vulture being early in Vestal. I haven't seen it answered on the general list, so will try to do so. No, not early.
A good reference for questions like this at this time of year (or any time) is www.birdcount.org <http://www.birdcount.org/> . This gets you to the GBBC site; then hit the "Exploring Results" box. This gives you 4 choices-go to "Map Room" (upper left-hand corner). You are then asked what species you want and will have to scroll down a list to "turkey vulture". Hit "Year 2010", then "North America". Once you get that map, you can pick "Allegheny" from the "Region" list on the left-hand side to see the distribution of TVs in NY and PA as of mostly last weekend. Some half-hardy species have started moving north, and I suspect that's what was seen. This site is great fun in addition to having a lot of information. I spend a lot of time wandering around in it.
