Just a few short minutes ago

a Sharpie buzzed a group of grackles in the tree across the street scattering them.

He returns from the opposite direction does the same and circles a bit.. Then a few houses down, completes a vertical dive into a backyard..I watch as the

Tstorm has started. Seemingly out of nowhere he reappears flying toward me, veers a little and disapears between the  two  houses next door.

amazing to watch..Very fast and blends in well...

Was an adult bird, Cinnamon breast white undertail coverts white in throat area...

birding has been quiet last few days, was going to head over to the pond but the clouds moved in around 6:00 pm

Yep, definately a lot of Turkey Vultures out there this past week.  Last two days I've seen three or four over hwy 5 just west of Brant.  One flew over a few feet above the car infront of me, and she slammed on her brakes.
