Hi, Tweets

Here is the July report for turkey vultures in the Northwest. Someday
I will catch up and thank all of the people who send in their great
reports . . . or just mention turkey vultures in their trip lists.
They are all very much appreciated. August reports are mentioning
more vultures, i.e. groups, so it won't be too long until they are
headed south.
