Dear Jack and others, One of my wife's relatives e-mailed me and told me that she saw about 300 to 400 Turkey Vultures over Portland on Oct. 13. See her message as below.

They seem to be seasonal birds around here, so I assume they were migrating. I had to stop the car just to watch them.

This batch seems really late to me . . . -- Jack Williamson West Linn, Oregon
