History

On 11/09, a woman called Soarin’Hawk and said that she had been seeing a Turkey Vulture in her yard for the past two days and was now on her porch. The vulture was able to fly on a fence, but was flying low to the ground.

When I got to the vulture’s location, he was eating a hot dog that the caller had given him to keep him around until I got there. The vulture was able to run and I had to chase him for a bit. I finally netted him and brought him to the ICU for evaluation.
