Greetings!
A partial skeleton was brought to me of a raptor with a leg band. I don't 
recognize the code--does not appear to be USGS, anyone recognize it? I'll 
get more info regarding the skeleton soon.
In regards to Mike's post on Black Vultures, as most in Oxford are well 
aware we over wintered between 25 and 30 Black Vultures at Hueston Woods SP 
this year. For the last 5 or 6 years we have had only a couple each winter 
(but I think nearly 60 over wintered at Brookville this past winter!) They 
have become a nuisance at the Nature Center showing the same disdain for 
people as I've seen Black Vultures show in the south (ours used to be 
pretty skittish). We also have a large population of Canada Geese at Acton. 
Yesterday I watched a Black Vulture slinking through the underbrush on the 
island at the marsh, an area that is solid Canada Goose nests.  The geese 
were standing, wings flared, making a huge ruckus, but the vulture appeared 
to be unperturbed.  Four other Black Vultures sat on the sand spit watching 
idly.  I'm very curious to see if the years of huge goose populations at 
Acton are a thing of the past because of our new Black Vulture populations.
