I got my morning fix of Turkey Vultures at 0735, albeit, today the pair (?) were not on the chimney of St. Isador's School, but on the smaller chimney of the Convent, which is on the same property.
After a hearing test at the VA Hospital in Northport, I visited S.M.S.P., and had a small amount of success. A number of Double-crested Cormorants were showing their "double-crests", while an Osprey fished. In the marsh on the west side of the old foot bridge, 2 Greater and 1 Lesser Yellows fed. Fish Crows were singing for the entire time ( ~ 1 & 1/2 hours) I was there.
