The Buzzards Return to Schoolhouse

The famed Turkey Vulture, or Buzzard, has been a spring visitor at the Berea Schoolhouse for many years. This year is no exception. Their return to the Western Reserve in March and April marks the forecast of warmer temperatures to come. They tend to hang out here for several days soaring and gliding above the building for long stretches then roosting on our bell tower, chimney or nearby trees often six or more at a time. There is nothing cute or regal about these large, bald scavengers, though they are impressive. Welcome back.
