Hey Gang: My husband and I went for a hike Sunday, primarily to let the dogs have a run and swim ( I did have my binoculars ). As we loaded them into the truck to head home, we noticed a red tail circling overhead. It was soon joined by another, then a red-shoulder moved in. A few tvs and bvs drifted in....... and so on. We made ourselves horizontal on some handy concrete curbs to enjoy the show. 15 minutes later, an empty sky. All told, 8 red tails, 4 black vultures, 6 turkey vultures, 1 red-shoulder.
