Yesterday, around 1300, I observed a kettle of about 30 vultures 
about a mile or so east of the Kentucky River bridge on the BlueGrass 
Parkway.  The half-dozen or so I got decent looks at were turkeys, 
but there were a couple of different silhouettes that I didn't get a 
decent look at.  There are certain disadvantages to birding at 75mph.

This evening around dusk I was walking one of my hounds and had a 
flight of 25 or so Am. robins come over heading SW.  I used to see 
large flights of them at dusk in Baton Rouge this time of year, 
several hundred at a time.
