Turkey Vultures

"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.” ~Ashley Montagu

In the spirit of this being a true blog, with its accompanying anecdotal qualities, I couldn't help but make a post about this. Tuesday night at about 7 pm, I saw a turkey vulture on top of Park Hall through the window in the O'Brian stairwell on the 7th floor! Here it is:




Turkey vultures, robins. What is it with birds and Park Hall?
By the way, the robin's eggs are hatched, and there are babies! The picture is fuzzy because the mama bird was very upset at me taking their picture, and I was trying to get it done quickly.


I suppose if there is an inspirational message to be taken from these feathered friends, it might be:


Keep your eyes open, because you never know what strange and wonderful things you might see in unexpected places...
