Turkey vultures
We have been seen large flocks (?) of turkey vultures soaring up and down Rt28A and Rt11 for a few years now. They seemed to follow a set schedule, as if looking for roadkill for the 6pm dinner sitting. Now just yesterday I saw a large single raptor soaring overhead and I was wondering where his buddies were. He swooped down and grabbed a fish out of the lake and then I noticed it was a bald eagle. I hadn't seen one down here before. "Mee" had noticed that we haven't been seeing the usual flock of vultures for 2-3 weeks now, but instead seeing a single bird (which we thought was a vulture). We now wonder if an eagle has taken roost and whether that would scare off the turkey vultures ?
