<div> </div>
<div>Fall migration of turkey vultures was as spectacular as ever, especially at Woodland Bottoms. Vulture migration winds down pretty quickly as far as big numbers go, but a few keep straggling through and a few more winter in isolated/protected places. Please mention if you see any wintering vultures; it seems most turkey vultures are spotted along the coastline. Thanks, as always, to everyone for the great reports.</div>
