Vultures 'hang out' in Columbia - News - LancasterOnline.com
Turkey vultures are "more than a nuisance," Columbia resident Cy Greenya told borough council Monday.
Greenya estimates the number of turkey and black vultures that roost in the trees along the back of his property to be near 100. They tear up roof shingles and destroy patio furniture. The vast amount of feces, he said, must be a health hazard.
Vultures are federally-protected migratory birds, he said, so property owners have limited options in dealing with the problem.

What I saw this weekend
On Saturday, unseasonably warm temps convinced these small spring flowers to emerge.
Two mallards went wading in Shawnee Creek.
These guys went wading in the Susquehanna.
They were members of New Holland's Liberty Fire Company.
They trained on Saturday and Sunday at River Park.
(The three photos above were taken on Saturday.)
An overseer on shore watched the proceedings.
On Sunday, these folks were walking along the railroad tracks at the bottom of Locust Street.
They were searching for something.
I assume they had placed a penny on the track, and it got lost after a train ran over it.
About noon, clouds passed over the area, but didn't hang around.
The sun returned mid-afternoon.

Two borough officials expressed new interest Monday in the question of maintaining the borough plant, which was last updated in 1972.
