Also today (11-17-08) in Johnson City I had 109 Turkey Vultures come
off 2 big roosts on Tannery Knob (Washington County, TN). I watched
them gain altitude and then peel off towards Buffalo Mountain. I
assume they are still migrating??? There are a lot of Vultures on the
Iris Glen Landfill just down the road, but I don't remember seeing
that many.
