I=E2=80=99ve told this story before but the first turkey vulture I saw =
was flying over the Ellis Road from Chebogue (near Yarmouth) the summer =
of 1982 or 1983. We saw another one the Christmas Bird Count of 1983 at =
Town Point, in Chebogue. =20
=20
Turns out there was a fox and lynx farm being operated nearby at the =
time. The vultures liked that, so they have stayed. They are now here =
the year-round, and dare I say that they are common in this neck of the =
woods?

You=E2=80=99ll see more, Bob, especially if you venture to the far =
southwest!

Subject: [NatureNS] My first in Nova Scotia: a single TV
=20
The only time I saw a Turkey Vulture was in Ottawa about 10 or 15 years =
ago ...
until yesterday that is.
I was returning to my car after visiting the Babes in The Wood homestead =
east of Dartmouth. It's on a woods road between the Lake Loon Golf =
Centre and Topsail Lake (historically King Lake) that goes to a cell =
phone tower. There was a single TV soaring and slowly circling above the =
road.
Incidentally, if you don't know the Babes in the Wood story, then look =
for the book in the Halifax Regional library system when it reopens, or =
perhaps there are still copies in the Dartmouth Heritage Museum. Failing =
that, email me.=20
