National Buzzard Day in the United States of America, observed on March 15, is the day when turkey vultures, or buzzards instinctively flock and return to Hinckley, a township in Medina County, Ohio each year.
In
1957, Walter Nawalaniec, a Cleveland Metroparks ranger, told Cleveland Press
reporter Robert Bordner that he had seen buzzards return to Hinckley on March
15 for the past six years. He also told Bordner that his predecessor, Charles
Willard, had kept a log of them returning on the date for 23 years prior to
that. On February 15, Bordner had published a story that predicted the buzzards
would return in exactly one month.
