This afternoon I saw my first Turkey Vulture (definitely NOT a creagle)of the year soaring over Lazelle Woods Park in northern Franklin County. The Eastern Bluebirds haven't yet returned to Lazelle Woods but I did see a couple house hunting at Emily Traphagen Nature Preserve in southern Delaware County. Also at Traphagen, I heard and saw downy and red-bellied woodpeckers drumming, saw a male northern flicker chasing away an interloper, and heard an American Woodcock and a Killdeer.
