Did anyone receive or otherwise see a notice advising all Turkey Vultures to evacuate Canada, or Northern New England, or Massachusetts? Locally we have 20-30 mph West winds and frost well north and perhaps a bit west of us. Doing errands, I had 1 TV over the Mystic Lakes, drove a half mile and had five TVs swirling southeast together, and drove another half mile and had 3 TV's in a conga line heading south. Yesterday sights in Ontario and Michigan had thousands of TVs migrating by their sites. Keep your eyes open! These eagle-sized birds are impressive flyers and use the strong, gusty winds incredibly well to migrate. You might see some spectacular action today.
     
Best,

Yes!

Just had at least 25 go by me in rapid succession , nice and low - seen from my home office window.
I’m on the hill that connects the Liberty Heights/Peacock Farm neighborhoods in Lexington on the Arlington line. They all followed the same nice southwesterly line.

Quite a sight!
