Watch for Vultures with wingtags!

Hi All,
I'm the wildlife biologist for the Yurok Tribe in Klamath, CA. Wanted to get some help from all you vulture enthusiasts out there. We are running a CA condor reintroduction feasibility study and are tagging turkey vultures as part of our project. Please report yellow wingtags with black numbers to cwest@yuroktribe.nsn.us. We need to know when and where you saw the bird and the number on the tag. Pictures are great too. Check out our project at www.yuroktribe.org/government/selfgovern/condorprogram.htm.
Thanks for the great blog Ali!

The 2009 Vulture Migration has begun

Saw 5 vultures kettling over the South Fork Kern River yesterday evening. And so it begins!
