She had a wonderful property adjacent to Pigtail area of triadelphia reservoir. About 50 yard into the mature woods she had an old pigpen where the vulture laid her eggs. The vulture had nested in it last year also. When I arrived the birds had fledged but we found one of the young birds perched on a stump nearby. It still had downy feathers poking out here and there. She told me only one adult was there with the chicks at a time and very infrequently. A GREAT EGRET flew over the house this morning.
