The SW winds brought Seneca County its first Turkey Vulture of the year. Had a soaring bird yesterday near Lowell in the northern part of the county. Not unprecedented but early for the county. Used to be they first showed up around mid-March. The last 10 years or so, its been late February to early March. Woodcocks should be back and singing soon!! -- H.
