Some friends observed a single Turkey Vulture on a road-kill deer
carcass on O'Brien Road (about 1/2 mile west of the Obrien/ Takilma
Rd. Junction called "4 Corners") on Dec. 30, 2015. This is in the
Illinois Valley, Josephine Co. I've never seen a TV here during
early/ mid winter.
There's been some discussion as to whether TVs are "wintering" or
"early migrants" when they show up this time of year. I wonder if
this bird is a "short distance migrant"? --- as there are many
wintering TVs in the Crescent City/ Fort Dick/ Smith River area of
Del Norte County, CA. about 28 miles away from this sighting.
