Fine Driver | Big Bird Is Sighted In Durham Never mind all those stories about a monster being sighted in Lake Ontario off the Oshawa lakefront! Durham County Forest Ran- ger Ed Youngman reports a "large bird . . . soon identi- fied as a turkey vulture" was sighted near the Durham for- est's fire tower on July 6, as he guided a busload of Central Lake Ontario Conservation Au thority members on a section of their 100-mile tour through sou- thern Ontario and Durham counties. The account is found in a re- cent Ontario Department of Lands and Forests' Weekly Re- port for the. district of Lind- say. To quote Mr. Youngman: "Not being an ornithologist (bird expert), I didn't know whether my leg was being pull- residence in this area, I won- dered whether it was indeed a turkey vulture, or a super-crow, raised on vitamin-spiked pab- lum." According to Webster's New| International Dictionary, Sec- ond Edition, the turkey vulture, or turkey buzzard, (Cathartes Aura) is common to South and Central America. It is found in the southern United States but is "rare north of Pennsyl-| vania." | Described as blackish-brown| with a red head and foreneck, the adult bird has a five foot wingspan and is "very graceful in flight". The turkey vulture, United| States variety, (Cathartes Aura septentrionalis) is described as raptorial; that is, living on, or adapted to seize, prey. It is said to feed on carrion only. Raptorial birds have large, strong feet and sharp, curved claws. They have the short, hooked bill for ripping and tearing, characteristic of the $75and Costs | Madeline Mercer, 10; Jo Ann Cook, 7; Jimmy Fisher, 10; Steven Johnson, 10 and Jean- ette Johnson, 10.
