Redstone Subdivision
Bristol, Sullivan Co., TN
A winter roost of between 150 and 200 vultures is again, this year,
present in the subdivision adjacent to Middlebrook Lake. While
I did not get a count of each species, it was notable that Black
Vultures were in significant numbers.
Friday, under dark clouds at 4:30 p.m., they were flying into
roost when I took this photo.
The birds were going into tall rows of White Pines which had
many years ago been planted at the back or along sides of the home
lots. Nearly all of them attempted to land in the top one-third of
each
tree.
Let's go birding . . .
