2. We had a buzzard convention here in the Ozarks in February.

My guess was that they were headed to Hinckley.

5. the things you learn on the internets!

And here all along I thought it was called Buzzard Day because it was the day the buzzards came and picked at Julius Caesar's liver!

6. I picked up that little bit of trivia over 40 years ago from a radio

program on WMAL-AM in Washington, DC called Harden & Weaver. Every March 15, Jackson Weaver would roll it out.

7. now that you've brought it to my attention I do seem to remember it

living as a boy in SoCal the local news reported it as a sort of anti-swallows return to Capistrano story! Yes!
