P.S. there was a Turkey Vulture at Forest Hills Station. On March 8, at 6:15 p.m., rhere were two hundred or so crows flying overhead at Huntington Ave. and Parker Hill Ave.. This was the night before the clocks ere put ahead, thus it was completely night. They seemed to be heading to Leverrett Pond.
