From the author: Turkey Vultures (Cathartes aura) in southern and south-central Saskatchewan first nested in deserted houses in 1982. This new behavior across the Aspen Parkland and Boreal Transition ecoregions became more common in the mid-1990s as vultures increased and occupied new territory. We documented 126 nestings, which produced 185 young in 74 deserted buildings during 2003-2006. The mean number of young fledged per successful nest (1.7) was similar to that recorded in other parts of its range.
