Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

My wife and I birded E.L. Huie yesterday.  There are still quite a few
vultures hanging out at the ponds.  We saw close to 30 Black Vultures
sitting on one bank when we arrived.  A group of three were in no hurry to
get out of our way as we drove down the gravel road.  We also saw 5-6 Turkey
Vultures circling overhead.  In addition to the vultures, we saw lots of
Tree Swallows buzzing the ponds.

One other cool thing we saw was a Kingfisher beating his lunch into
submission on a standpipe.  I took some very low quality video of it and you
can check it out here:
