<p align="left"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Hi, Tweets</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial, sans-serif">I am using some of the eBird sightings along with those that are on Tweeters or sent to me. Right now, since it’s still early, most reports are of single birds. Along the coast and in a few other areas there seem to be more numerous sightings and it could be overwintering turkey vultures since some do hang around all year. </font></p>
