Hello Tweets,

I almost hate to ask since I am now keeping an eye out for gray jays,
kingfishers, swans, and what-all, however, I feel compelled since it's
almost time!

I would appreciate very much any sightings of northward-bound turkey
vultures this spring. The first are usually seen in February so this
seemed an appropriate date to ask. If, by chance, you know of any sneaky
ones that have stayed the winter in some obscure spot, I'd like to know
about those, too. There were a couple on Vancouver Island that forgot to
leave the staging area last fall, and have heard of ca. 16 in Nova Scotia,
and 1-2 in central Oregon, but that's been about it.

So, if you see one of these handsome guys, it would be very helpful if you
could notice weather, time, number of birds, and anything else of interest.

Thanks.
