Vultures eating an egg

Yesterday we saw Black Vultures feeding on what I think was a duck egg at a park. They got within 2 feet of us which allowed for some great photos.

Black Vultures in Nest

Fifth year of nesting in my barn loft. Refurbished barn last year, and created a protected room for them in their nesting area.

2 week old Black vulture checks

2 week old black vulture chicks found in a duck blind in the middle of Asawoman Bay on June 26. Followed them for 8 weeks until they started flying.

Black vulture chicks

Stumbled across these 2 chicks at about 2 weeks of age initially in a duck blind on a siny island in the middle of Asawoman Bay that I have used in the past as an observation deck for an osprey nest. Here they are at 8 weeks on August 8th.
