I think it's interesting that you've seen vultures in Russell County this winter. I certainly haven't seen any out my way and there are always plenty in the spring through fall part of the year. I see them in Washington, Smyth, and Tazewell counties, but not in Russell.

We have observed them quite consistently in the Clifton farm area at the end of the Clifton Farm Road before the junction of Routes 540 and 770. My unscientific and amateur opinion is that some are wintering here because of the mild winter. What is your opinion? Have you seen any in Buchanan County?L Laverne Tom & Laverne Hunter ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
