On my walk home from work yesterday evening (in daylight now that the clocks have changed), I saw TURKEY VULTURES slowly gathering in the air and kettling over downtown Ithaca. My maximum count from the corner of Meadow, Fulton, & Clinton about 6pm was 41, but they were hard to keep track of, and there may have been more. Then they seemed to disperse, but when I got home I was able to see 13 of them as I looked east from my yard. Today about 5pm as I biked south on NYS-89 I saw the latest of 6 of them land in the large willows along the inlet just south of the dock for the dragon boats. Maybe there was a dead fish in the area that the ice melt has revealed. I saw GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS working on dead fish in Treman Marina. --Dave NutterOn Mar 12, 2013, at 06:46 PM, "Judith W.
