ABOUT THE PHOTO: A flock of black vultures has been gathering at the Voorheesville DPW next to the Albany County Rail Trail for several years now - it was a real treat to see them there on the afternoon of Christmas day.
Trail running, distance running, hiking, road and mountain biking, paddling, snowshoeing, XC skiing, martial arts... and anything else I feel like writing about!
