CormorantsBell.08 Earl Plato

Shades of South Koabel Road where Niagara Falls, Welland, and Port Colborne meet. Before the demise of the huge old tree there we would see as many fifty turkey vultures perched on its limbs. Why? After a torrential downpour the birds who lack waterproof feathers have to have them dry out. It’s quite a sight to see them open their five foot wingspread in the sun. The great tree finally died and the vultures departed to other locations. Now in July, 2008 there is another tree with many large birds perched on its limbs. Where? On our own Niagara River in Fort Erie.
