Yep, life is fun! You gotta be careful down here about cruising under
branches and trees leaning out over the water or some friends may drop
in. And it's a reason for having two people in different kayaks.
One person I know carries a small kids canoe paddle just for flipping
those out of his canoe. I depend mostly on watching carefully. So far
I've not had that kind of fun.

Hi Doug, To hear is to believe ! If someone had told me that turkey
vultures had some capacity to vocalize I would have dismissed it as
folklore. I knew chicks did produce a hissing sound while at the
nest, but never heard of adults emitting some kind of in flight sound,
great !
Now I will have to spend hours and miles of tape ( yes MDrs, I still
run casetes) aiming at american vulture kettles, thanks!
