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. Betsy Saunders You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General.
