While birding yesterday we saw turkey vultures here in Skagit County:
1) Three TUVU (3) soaring/circling at Rosario Beach.
Rosario, in general, was "pretty dead" - no Kingfisher, no
Alcids, a few Oystercatchers, no Harlequin or
Wood Ducks, no Canada Geese, a larger than normal amount of
White-crowned Sparrows and a
normal amount of Tree Swallows. Heard, but did not see, a
Flicker. Several crows but no Ravens.
Almost no gulls of any kind and only one flight of cormorants
(but 20 in that one flight!),
2) Four TUVU on the ground near the road between the West 90 and
where you go onto Samish Island.
This was one by itself and 3 more 'close' to each other - all
were down on the ground and in
what I'd call "recently cut hay/grasses".
