Hi Wayne et al.:

I had a Turkey Vulture up McKinney Road east of Oliver, BC on the same day
(just before I bumped into you at Vaseux Lake) and also had one here at home
yesterday (Naramata, BC, 29 March). There were 6 flying over Penticton
yesterday evening. So they're back in a big way.

cheers
Dick Cannings
Naramata, BC
