Vulture Roost in "Downtown" Wentworth

["nm.yount" <yount@netmcr.com>]

OK, there really is no downtown Wentworth, but for the past several days
scores of Vultures have been roosting along both sides of N.C. Highway
65 near the Rockingham County courthouse and the post office. The peak
so far was Saturday, 1/4.
I stood in the yard and watched wave after wave fly in between 4 and 5
P.M. I walked the 1/4 mile to the courthouse Sunday morning just after
daylight and estimated between 350 and 400 birds lining the trees along
the road! As I write this around 4:30 Monday afternoon today's fly-in is
in high gear. The mix appears to be about 80% Turkey and 20% Black.
