Did anyone receive or otherwise see a notice advising all Turkey Vultures to evacuate Canada, or Northern New England, or Massachusetts? Locally we have 20-30 mph West winds and frost well north and perhaps a bit west of us. Doing errands, I had 1 TV over the Mystic Lakes, drove a half mile and had five TVs swirling southeast together, and drove another half mile and had 3 TV's in a conga line heading south. Yesterday sights in Ontario and Michigan had thousands of TVs migrating by their sites. Keep your eyes open! These eagle-sized birds are impressive flyers and use the strong, gusty winds incredibly well to migrate. You might see some spectacular action today. Best, Paul Paul M.
