I'm on Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line, about ΒΌ mile north of 79. A turkey vulture circled a bit, then landed on the side of the road. There also was a crow on the side of the road about 2 feet away from the TV. Down the bank from the road was something dead that had been thrown there by the snow plow, I guess. The crow very quickly flew off but the TV stayed, fidgeting, and then finally after several minutes made his way down the bank to the roadkill. I had to shovel the driveway, about 30 feet away, and he kept an eye on me but he ate his fill, flew off to the east after about 20 minutes. The road kill was a skunk. Not much of it left after the TV finished.

This is one of the first TUVU I've seen this year and it was interesting to see them together. A few miles before, I noticed 3 TUVU in a kettle, those were the first. This past week we saw our first Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles at the feeder at the MAC. Spring is slowly emerging!
