About 20 minutes ago I was very surprised to see a TURKEY VULTURE
soaring about near East Hill Plaza. Having heard no reports this
winter, I'm assuming this is an early migrant. I've often wondered why
this bird, and the red-wing blackbirds
Considering the severe weather and heavy snow cover in our area, why
would this bird, and the RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS that Dave Nutter saw on
the 22nd, not delay their northward migration until conditions improve
considerably? As they move north, aren't they taking into account the
conditions they are encountering and deciding whether to proceed or wait
it out? Any thoughts!?!?
