On your 2020 eBird county list is a Black Vulture, you tend to get a little nervous.
Especially when you count a pair of them right at home, right behind the barn.
At least they didn't hang around and I haven't seen them again. And they did get me back up over 90% in the county at least for a little while.
We haven't been out much, what with the disease and baby sitting. We make our winter loop in the car, as there are some decent ducks on a couple of ponds we frequent, and we go to Schoharie Crossing State Historical Site, early before everyone else is out. Not seeing much of excitement, but there are some cool ducks available for viewing.

| Do you think he was looking at the skid steer? |
Our skid steer quit and is currently experiencing major, and no doubt expensive, repairs. Meanwhile the boss was forced to find a different way to get wood from the barnyard to the stove. He says what he is doing now, dragging logs with the tractor and cutting them up in the old calf yard, is actually better, so there is that.
Home schooling is taking place via computer and packets delivered by our neighbor who combines farming with school bus driving. So far I haven't participated much as Liz is tending to that business.
However, I have been
I hope you are all remaining safe, sane, and well. Much love from Northview Farm.

Okay. I'll take those cookies over the black vultures.
And no cheating at Farmopoly!
(What a good Grammy you are :)
Those Black Vultures are a tad scary.
Tell Liz those cookies look good, and tell Peggy she is a winner in my heart. Love you daughter! Mom and Dad
Cathy, they are good cookies. I have purloined one as we speak and am going to enjoy it with my coffee. What with these days of little birding I was happy to add something...anything....to my county list. Glad the vultures left after their photo session though. Take care!
Linda, yes they are, especially if you have livestock and we do.
Mom, they are good and I will. Love you!
Rather a spectacular looking turkey- and the black vulture too. We only have turkey vultures here.
Baking seems to be a thing nowadays, the latest can't-find-any is yeast.
I love the turkey! We recently saw a family of turkeys on our way home from California to Washington. There was a tom strutting his stuff in the parking lot of the Residence Inn in Sacramento. Is your farm near Franklin or Oneonta, NY? Have you ever heard of Ken H. and Lois Stalter? Anyway, I talk about him and his artwork in my blog, ukendoart.blogspot.com.
Shirley, same here! We were amazed to discover that it is so hard to get baking supplies. Didn't realize so many people cooked. Liz had a good supply of yeast on hand when this started but it is dwindling fast! Black Vultures are relatively new around this area and not particularly welcome as they will viciously attack stock. Glad to see a single pair for the year list and then glad not to see them again any time soon. Loving your horse posts!
UKenDoArt, We are about an hour from Oneonta. I had not heard of Ken and Lois, but I much enjoyed a quick visit to your blog. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
