My neighbors (in Tyre) have a large, old barn which they do not use, but keep in good repair. Tuesday, they were having a vent put in the round open window on the south side. In the process they noticed a young vulture standing in the corner shedding its downy feathers. When they told me, I went to investigate and found 2 youngsters. Now... the neighbors have gone to England for a week. The barn doors are closed (which they always have been). The south window is vented... They report having seen a vulture enter there only once. There is also a north round open window and a couple barn siding boards are missing, so I am supposing that the parents can still get in. I've gone to check several times and haven't seen any parents around. The neighbors have had quite a bit of work done there recently and I'm just wondering and worrying that the parents have been scared off. Any advice?
