<div> </div>
<div>Here is the turkey vulture report for April 2024 from Washington, British Columbia and Oregon. Those who know e-bird realize that I could make this report a zillion pages, but I try to just add a few to the reports that I receive. Thankfully, turkey vultures do well here so I guess they like our weather. Thank you so much for your reports. Anecdotes are always welcome - they kind of add to the date/time/place information. </div>
