Observation date:     12/16/06, 6:15am-4pm, 54 auto miles & 6 miles hiking

Notes:     Sardis, Ms CBC. North of the lake to hwy 310. Party of four, Van
Harris, Lisa Jorgenson, Al Sampson and Jay Walko. Turkey Vultures in good
numbers throughout day, also had a good kettle of Blk Vultures at one time.
