In mid-March, the buzzards return, soon followed by hawks.
“Buzzards,” as one acquaintance long ago explained, “is what cowboys call turkey vultures.”

Yes, a few linger around here all winter, along with a number of hawks. But one day, looking up, you realize the balance has changed.
They’ve mostly headed for Florida again. Along with the rest of the “snow birds.”
