It’s that time of the year when the buzards/turkey vultures (?) migrate north from Mexico. There can be more than a hundred slowly circling while thy drift north. It sometimes takes an hour before they are out of sight.

March 15 in Hinckley, OH is Buzzard Day. Every year they return to roost, like the swallows at Capistrano. There's even a song about it....

Buzzard Day 2023: Buzzards welcomed back to Hinckley in decades-old tradition with legend dating back to 1818

Visitors gather at the Buzzard Roost every March 15 for the annual event.

We occasionally leave a cow that has died for the turkey vultures and eagles rather that burying it or giving it to the local game farm. The local game farm has meat eaters (bear, lions, etc.), but the managers are picky, the cow has to have died within so many hours, etc.

I planted 50 tulips+25 crocus in one area in Fall. They were coming along fine until deer showed up . So just now put a charger around (I tried & rubber sole shoes shocked like crazy). For whatever reason deer don't bother daffodils.

Tomorrow I'll put a solar charger where I planted 1,000 tulips that are about to come up.

Rabbits and woodchucks ate our tulips as they popped out of the ground several times.

It's my phone, but still like it as first time I got a sunrise with some stars in the pic. Taken yesterday morning around 06:40.
