Migration. — In parts of the country, particularly the Atlantic and 

 Pacific coastal regions, the migrations of the turkey vulture are 

 frequently unnoticed, as in large areas the species is present in more 

 or less numbers throughout the year. The southward movement in 

 autumn is usually more conspicuous, and in the vicinity of Washing- 

 ton, D. C, flocks of 30 or more may be regularly seen in October 

 and November as they circle steadily toward the south.

 been observed to arrive in spring are: New Jersey — Vineland. Feb-
