<div>Hi, Tweets</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We don't have vulture-filled skies here during the winter months. This report is from last November through January, 2024, and covers Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. Many sightings were taken from e-bird, many had photos. Of the reports I looked through the majority were sightings of just one bird. Turkey vultures slowly start heading north in February so will wait 'til then for local reports ihave now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for reports sent in and keep an eye skyward for early migrants.</div>
