After not seeing any T.V's at the Riverhead roost for about a week now, and thinking they had moved on, I was quite surprised to see 7 flying at low altitudes near the roost at ~ 0750 Saturday. Although I couldn't stop to see how many might have returned, I did manage to see 2 more ~ an hour later atop the large chimney of the St Isadore's Elementary School on Marcy Ave, Riverhead. They have used this spot in past years to warm themselves, via the rising flue gases (products of combustion). I did have an opportunity to stop by the roost at ~ 1400, but did not find any vultures there.
