Hans, you=E2=80=99ve reminded me of a sighting of a large raptor cruising o=
ver south end Yarmouth about 11 A.M. on Friday morning. I was beside Templ=
e Baptist church and looking west, when a large guy soaring dihedrally pass=
ed apparently over the old Anglican cemetery, maybe about 1000 feet to the =
southeast. My initial thought was =E2=80=9Cturkey vulture,=E2=80=9D this b=
eing Yarmouth. Then I noticed the tail was too long and the flying include=
d some flap-flap glide, particularly as it turned to the north of me and fl=
ew east.
The distance and the light kept me from seeing any colour, but if I got the=
distance right, only a goshawk could be that size and shape.
Down here, that is more exciting than turkey vultures!

Laura spotted a Turkey Vulture overhead Portuguese Cove, HRM, this afternoo=
n. It was close enough for her to see the two toned wings and red head.
