As we were going out this afternoon (around noon) I
looked up to see a turkey vulture being harrassed by
an accipiter. I suppose the TV's do migrate over the
city, but it's the first I'd seen one. Is this about
the usual time for them to be passing through or is
this early? It does seem that I've seen all sorts of
good things in my neighborhood this year, including a
resident juvenile cooper's hawk and a peregrine
passing through (we thought maybe it was the one that
hangs out at the Ballard bridge.)

Happy birding!
