A friend just phoned to tell me that she saw a Turkey Vulture just south of
Sandusky.  She said the bird landed and began eating something on the  ground,
giving her a good look at it.

There is a huge quarry directly across the street from the Sandusky Mall
(google Sandusky Mall, 44870, and switch to "arial view" to see it for
yourself).  The bird was seen along Columbus Ave. as it runs along the  west side of
the quarry.  Perhaps it is the updrafts from the quarry that  attracted him to
the area.

As a former Hinckley resident, I certainly hope he stays clear of Hinckley
for another three and a half weeks!  No one wants him, or any of his  friends
to show up before Buzzard's Day.  Speaking of Buzzard's Day  (March 15), if you
have never attended a Buzzard's Sunday (the first Sunday  after Buzzard's
Day) you might want to consider it.  It has grown from  just a pancake and
sausage breakfast event to a nice little educational  festival.  Birding Hinckley
Reservation can be quite productive even at  that time of the year.  I really
regret that I was not a birder when I  lived just up the road from it.
