Hello everyone,

On my way into the Black Swamp Bird Observatory (BSBO) nature center
yesterday afternoon I was shocked to find a very dejected looking Turkey
Vulture

(not that they ever look all that perky) perched atop a utility pole across
from

the center. After about half an hour, the bird flew, or perhaps lurched
would be a better description, toward State Route 2 and made what appeared to
be a particularly awkward landing in a tree just behind that old dilapidated
group of buildings at the corner of SR 2 and the Crane Creek/Magee entrance
road. When I left BSBO at about 4:30 PM the bird had disappeared.
