Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus)Observer
whateverwatcherDescription
I have never seen so many of these in one place! Around 25-30 of them on the ground, sitting on and under picnic tables and benches and having little squabbles. More in the air.
There were a few Turkey Vultures (141128200) present, but most were Black Vultures.
(The P1000 had, as usual, disconnected from the app so GPS was missing or wrong. Corrected manually.)

Lifer! How exciting, and how gorgeous. The yellow tail indicates it's only a few weeks old, I think. Probably a den, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were more around that I didn't see.
