The turkey vultures over-wintered in Tupperville-Centrelea-Bridgetown area. It was surprising, given the remarkably brutal winter. Someone was feeding them regularly along hwy 201 in Centrelea. It seems we've nearly 'cornered the market' on them. Kings County may have its eagles, but we have the majestic vulture... hmmm. The owner of the new butcher shop in Bridgetown (near the RCMP station and Tim Horton's) had to 'shooh' the vultures away from one of his buildings last winter. They were intent on going inside! I suppose the lure was irresistible. (The new butcher shop is wonderful, by the way, with a focus on selling many local products!)

Mountain The Turkey Vultures are back in the Round Hill area. I can't say for sure that they haven't been back for awhile already, but yesterday was my first day seeing them over Bishop Park when I was on my way home from Annapolis Royal. In summer, they are almost always present, drifting above Route 201 between Marsh Road and Round Hill Lane. and up over the meanders at the outlet of Round Hill Brook. I've always thought they are probably attracted to the large turkey and chicken operation located in that area.
