Hi All

I had no luck viewing the Magpie at Clam Harbor late this afternoon, but =
a resident at #37 Russell Road indicated that the bird was heard this =
morning, although not seen.

While on the way to Clam Harbor, I kept coming across a Turkey Vulture =
that seemed to keep popping up just ahead of us along the highway, and =
was even standing right on the middle of the road at one point. It was =
mostly in the vicinity of Clam Bay. Here are a few photos, the last of =
which was through my car windshield, and not near as clear as I would =
have liked. A vehicle coming from the opposite direction showed up and =
spooked it before I could get a better shot, but as for flight shots, =
the bird was quite accommodating as it circled just overhead:
