[Birdtalk] Vulture kettle

[M. H. Wallace]

The Knudsen's Corner area (6200 South Holladay Blvd.) has long been a 
place where the Vultures come in the Spring.  (Generally same area as 
Tim mentions.)  I used to live in that area (5300 South below Wasatch 
Blvd.) and I'd see them every Spring in that area, in or around a group 
of Cottonwood trees near Darwin Knudsen's home. (That's the one on the 
corner, South of The Cotton Bottom, with the old mill wheel embedded in 
a wall along 6200 South.)  Vultures seem to return year-after-year to 
same locations, that is my observation.  There are a group of Pine trees 
near my present home in East Millcreek where every year a group of two 
Vultures comes and "hangs-out" for a few days each Spring and Fall.  
Does anyone else have similar observations, or know of research that 
supports such a hypothesis of Vultures returning to same locations 
year-after-year?
