Look out Town of Leesburg residents! If you hear loud Bird of Prey sounds around the water tower, they are trying to disturb the roosting vultures.
🦃TURKEY VULTURE EVICTION NOTICE! 🦃
Attention, Leesburg! Over the next few days, the Leesburg Police Department will be officially launching "Operation No Vacancy" to encourage our uninvited turkey vulture guests who have been perched on the water tower at the Inova Loudoun Medical Campus, 224 Cornwall Street NW, to find a new hangout spot.
How? By playing loud bird-of-prey sounds—because nothing says "move along" like the terrifying screech of something higher on the food chain! So, if you hear what sounds like a Jurassic Park audition tape, don’t worry—it’s just our high-tech, feathered DJ set helping relocate the vultures (humanely, of course). If you are in the immediate area of the water tower, you may hear the bird-of-prey sounds intermittently over the next few days during the daytime.
Why Make Them Move? Turkey vultures should not roost on a water tower because their droppings can contaminate the water supply, corrode metal structures, and create unsanitary conditions.
We appreciate your patience as we turn up the volume on nature’s "NO TRESPASSING" sign. If you see a vulture packing its bags, mission accomplished. 🦅🎶 Town of Leesburg, Virginia
