Yesterday we saw quite a migration of turkey vultures and raptors on South 
Bass Island.

In the AM, there were about five places on the island in the vicinity of 
Langram and Meechen Rd. where turkey vultures had roosted overnight-twenty to 
thirty in each group.

That afternoon, there was a mixed group of about 100 turkey vultures with 8 
red-tailed hawks and one red-shouldered hawk that were overhead of our 
vineyard on Mitchell Rd. The kettle came in and out of view for about an hour 
before moving to the west.

I saw a chipping sparrow while in the vineyard-had heard one a few days ago. 
At dusk last night, I heard the trill of American Toads for the first time 
this year.
