As we were heading North on Meadow St. just after 6 p.m. tonight we saw a flock of 14 turkey vultures flying ... (not soaring) out towards Wal-mart area ... what's that ... SW??? Never have seen them just flapping all together like a flock of crows or geese as they were tonight. Good thing I had my binox on the dash & was waiting for the light to turn green so I had a positive ID.
Trip to Ithaca from Union Springs early afternoon was extremely windy. Futile to find anything on the lake. I'm surprised Steve & Susie even found the Be Happy Cafe! And Mark .... congrats on having a screechie again. I'd jump up & down in exuberance, too! CO son-in-law stood in awe tonight when he came home from work, watching & listening to the flights of geese & admiring the fantastic sunset, one of the prettiest we've had in a couple wks.. So glad Steve & Susie got to see it.
