A large number of turkey vultures have descended upon a lake front mansion in Avon Lake this afternoon just west of the Bay Village border about 1/2 mile. There are at least 30 of them sitting on the roof of the home and in the trees. They look ominous! I can imagine the home owner might freak out at the sight. They lake is fogged in even though the sun is out. Looking at gulls resting on the mirror smooth surface of the lake one can't tell the water from the sky so the birds appear to be suspended in the air while at rest. The sight is really beautiful but I can imagine it would make flying along the shore difficult. The birds can't see the horizon.
