7 March 81
Saw a large bird having
much the appearance of the
Calv Vulture, but it did not
appear much if any larger
than the Turkey Vulture.
It was flying at perhaps a
quarter of a mile distance,
I could distinguish some white
under the wings and tail.
Otherwise it was black.
Killed a Deer and saw
two others.
Weather pleasant.
