Hi, Tweets

Sorry for the late report but my elkhound has been in the hospital for a while and we're still getting things squared away. Thanks, as always, for the reports. No e-bird reports included this time. To the two gentlemen who think my reports are a "waste of time' - please just pass them by. Vultures do have lots of fans! Anyway, this is the report for May 2023 for Washington state.

Daily -- 8-10 seen while driving the Columbia Gorge highway.

01 -- One above the ridge line over Anacortes.

03 -- Two turkey vultures at the Billy Frank, Jr. NWR, weather: "lovely"

05 -- Two turkey vultures and a possible black vulture at 11:30 circling above Hgwy101 north of Forks (south of Beaver and the southern part of the Lake Pleasant Community). Good description of the possible black vulture

12 -- One circling low several times over a house in Sammamish around 4pm.

14 -- Two turkey vultures over Port Townsend.

17 -- One over Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually, NWR, a low tide and 'summery' weather.

21 -- Five turkey vulures een sitting in trees in the Skagit/Samish Flats area (note, seen every day but no info); One see around 4pm above Carrie Blake Park in Sequim.

24 -- Three seen at Umpanum Creek and 10:20am; 1 seen at Park Creek Road, Kittitas at 15:00.

25 -- 1 at Lenore Lake's north end at 12:26; One at Umptanum Road, Kittitas County at 08:54.

* Here's an Easter Egg for the list: Four turkey vultures seen on 24 May at Observatoire de Tadoussac--Dunes V In Quebec, Canada.
