A Committee of Vultures.

10-31-18 SHORT HILLS: Today was warm and sunny, but before it warmed up, early this morning, I saw two raptors in the bright blue sky. They landed in a tree top down the block. I got pix from the bedroom window. Yesterday Judy saw one in a different tree near the driveway and got an iPhone pic. All the vultures might mean that Trump is back at his golf course in Bernardsville.

The ash trees are all bare, and the black walnuts are almost there too. Some maples are in good color. The burning bushes are bright red.

New blooms: African violet [thanks, Donna].


A pair of turkey vultures in a tree about a block away from us early this morning. The lower one on the left has a dark face and the black-tipped beak of an immature bird.

A black vulture that Judy caught yesterday with her iPhone. This one was on our corner. The vultures must mean that Trump is nearby.

Here's the cyclamen in the sun room that I meant to post last time.
