I had the opportunity to watch over 100 Black Buzzards washing and drying their 
wings yesterday.They congregated in pools of water in a hay field created by 
recent heavy rains within the city limits of Petersburg Tennessee. Some were 
washing in much the same way a smaller bird would wash while others were 
sitiing, wings spread, to dry. All this was taking place a mere twenty to 
thirty yards from HWY 130 in Petersburg.  The numbers built and declined 
throughout the day as birds came and went. I haven't checked today to see if 
they have returned.
