Regarding vultures in the Round Hill area. I wonder if they are attracted t=
o the very large turkey and chicken farm located on Round Hill Lane after it=
crosses the brook onto Pre Rond. I know that many poultry farms dispose of=
dead birds on their property. Not sure what that farm does, but I would th=
ink it must do that as well. Anyhow, I live near Pre Rond and the vultures a=
re often numerous in the skies over that area.
