olor: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-var --089e0825ef0459fb5d056378808b Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable For the last few years there has been a colony of up to about 20+ Turkey vultures in Bridgetown. They can often be seen soaring over the town and the surrounding area, and sometimes perched in trees right in the town. I imagine it wouldn't be hard for them to range as far as Round Hill and farther. Indeed I have often seen one or more over the 101, 1 and the 201 between Middleton and Annapolis Royal. I don't know why they favour Bridgetown, but there is an abattoir there, and that might attract them. I don't know of any evidence of nesting/ breeding, but I wouldn't be surprised.
