603. sorry that I did not post this yesterday, but this amazes me more than just about anything else that I know about animals -------- An Annual Event
Every year on March 15, buzzards return to Hinckley, Ohio In 1957 a reporter for Cleveland Press reported that the Cleveland Metroparks rangers had documented for at least 25 years that buzzards return to Hinckley each year on March 15. On that date in 1957, in response to the report, the town of Hinkley was surprised by over 9.000 skeptical spectators, reporters, bird watchers and naturalists who came to observe the arrival of the buzzards for themselves. The buzzards arrived on schedule as predicted, and have arrived on March 15 every year since then. The citizens and Chamber of Commerce declared the first Sunday on or after March 15 as Buzzard Sunday. Each year HinckleyTownship residents host Buzzard Day activities to mark the return of the buzzard to the Hinckley Reservation of Cleveland Metroparks.
At 7:00 am on March 15, Bob Hinkle, the chief of outdoor recreation for Cleveland Metroparks and the official buzzard spotter, records the arrival time of the first buzzard. Bird watching enthusiasts gather for the event, wearing Buzzard T-shirts, buttons and hats. The buzzards typically arrive between early morning and 3:00 pm.
604. also this from yesterday about The Ides of March - In modern times, the term Ides of March is best known as the date on which Julius Caesar was killed in44 B.C.
