By the month of May, there are Turkey Vultures all over the area north of the Great Lakes. I have seen them as far north as Timmins in June. By midwinter there isn’t a one.
This morning we saw about two dozen fly overhead on their way south.

NATURE POETRY
O suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
October’s bright blue weather. – Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–85)
