They have been nicely overwintering down Yarmouth way for well over a decade!

Subject: [NatureNS] Turkey Vulture at Round Hill

I've been meaning to post about this for awhile now.  For the past several weeks. I've been seeing a lone Turkey Vulture from time to time -- usually flying low in front of my property near the bridge over Round Hill Brook.  In summer, there are several that fly together over Round Hill Lane (there is a poultry farm out on the Pré Rond) and often drift down toward Bishop Park.  The rest must have moved on for the winter, but this one stayed behind -- perhaps unwilling or unable to fly far.  Yesterday, I was reminded that it was still around when I saw it flying on the east side of the brook, out of the trees and over
201, being fiercely pursued by a Crow.   I wasn't sure if it would
find enough to eat to survive the winter, but it must be finding some sustenance in the area.
