Paul:
More than anything, it's a fund raiser for the town of Hinckley and a promotion for the Cleveland radio station WMMS -- "Home of the Buzzard". . . .
Turkey Vultures do return to the Hinckley Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks in and around March 17th I think. To read why the "buzzards" return to Hinckley, go to:

Also, if you want to know more abount Hinckley's TVs returning to South Florida, I think it was TAS's own Robert Kelley who told me that one of his students(?) did some tagging years ago and made the observation that some of the birds originated in NE Ohio/Hinckley area. You might contact him.
Good birding!
