About 4 pm I observed 25-28 bk vultures drifting slowly almost due South. A few minutes later 3 of them came "thermaling" around overhead and then headed a little more East of a southerly direction. I think this caused my local Red-Shouldered Hawk to put in an appearance. "Reba" the Rufous HB has now completed 18 days here. I'm providing fruit and veggie scraps in hopes of producing some fruit flies for her. I wonder if she could survive some length of time on sweet water only?
