They were low, alternately sailing with some flapping flying over Highland Road and Lake St. Ext, in Minnetonka. This area is near Williston Road and Hiway 7. It is approximately 2 1/2 miles southeast of Gray's Bay on Lake Minnetonka. The birds were low. Looking through the trees to the East I could see others which I did not count.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>We have never seen anything quite like it except for a kettle of Broad--wing hawks over the same ridge but much higher about 20 years ago.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Maybe we should change the name from Highland to Turkey Vulture Ridge,</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Don Grussing</div><div>Minnetonka</div></div></body></html>
