They're back! and they always return between March 10 and March 15
Lima has the Bean as its mascot, so why not turn an ackward situation into a, well, a tourist attraction?
The buzzards are back in town. Lynn Nowak spotted them hanging out on Garmatter Street on March 10 and provided this photo. Since then lots of sighting have taken place.
We've observed these big, black guys in town every spring since 2001.Their appearance in town coincides with buzzards returning to Hinkley, Ohio, each March 15. Our hunch is that one of the flights to Hinkley in 2001 took a wrong turn ending here.
The rest is history.
