Hi all,

Yesterday afternoon, October 29, I witnessed Turkey Vulture migration for
the first time. It was at Cape Forchu at about 2:00 pm. Over the course of
about an half an hour three kettles of Turkey Vultures consisting of 27, 15,
and 24 birds each came from inland locations over the two peninsulas of the
Cape and soared around the headlands as if hesitating. All three kettles
headed south-southeast. With a 40 km/hr wind at 100 meters altitude blowing
southeast, the 66 drifting vultures would be carried to the coast of
"downeast" Maine in 3-4 hours.

John
