There are a lot of
vultures around the
Mitchell area. That's
what the Mitchell
Advocate told its readers
last week, however the
vultures are the
feathered variety.
The Advocate ex-
plained that turkey
vultures usually nest in
Perth County, but are
rarely seen. However,
during the past two weeks
a large number of the
unusual birds have been
seen migrating through
the county.
The wild birds are
larger than hawks. The
adults are black with
small red heads and the
yearlings are completely
black. Their flight is
similar to the hawk,
soaring above the ground
in circular patterns.
