        Have just read the many messages about the eradication of Black
Vultures.  It's too late for this batch of birds,  but Ben says that
during times of peak usage, DGIF and other interests should pay someone
minimum wage to shoo vultures away from cars and keep them off the
parking lot.  Native Americans sent young boys out to the fields to scare
the crows and it worked for them. At the very least, it would keep the
birds from destroying cars and messing up the area.  (Irene, I share your
concerns, but vulture poop is undeniably more of a health hazard than
Prothonotary Warbler poop and $700 to repair a damaged car is the last
straw, even for me!) 
        Don't know what Dominion can do about their dangerous towers. The
Native Americans didn't address that one.
