A black vulture was seen and photographed on phone and ipad at 3:45 p.m. in company of 5 TUVU. It was feeding on a dead raccoon and perched on a fence post for several minutes before heading s/w towards Upper Canada Village. It was on Anderson Road approx. 1/2 k.m. west of Aultsville Road seen at 20 ft. and photo-ed with white wingtips clearly visible. Smaller size and black head dark bill contrasted to the turkey vultures in the corn field behind it.This is just north of Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary.
