We are now officially beekeepers!  Our new little friends arrived on April 20, 2013.  This has been quite an adventure as my husband and I learn all about the fascinating world of the honey bee. Here is my husband installing our first package of bees.

They’re Back!

April 1, 2013 by Mary Gross Leave a Comment

They’re back!  I have been watching turkey vultures for years.  Turkey Vultures  won’t win any “Most Beautiful Bird” contests but they are impressive when they soar.  Their arrival is right on time; lots of dead dinners are found as the snow is melting off.

Here are some interesting facts:

  • Vulture’s featherless heads keep them clean as they consume their dead dinners.
  • Their strong stomach acids can kill the dangerous cholera and anthrax bacteria.
  • Vultures can’t sing.  They can only grunt and hiss.

Welcome back Vultures.  Nature’s clean-up crew is back on the job.
