<div> </div>
<div>A nice, but warm, springtime with turkey vultures soaring here and there - just wish they'd visit Bothell more! Thanks for the reports plus posting on ebird although I only took two from there this time. This report is just from Washington sightings this month.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope everyone has a great summer with lots of good birds.</div>
