Clicking on the Google maps link within this eBird checklist will point to the
barn where I saw two BLVUs on 16 February. My notes within the checklist.
Hard to say much about what was really happening as I was simply driving by the
barn and did not stop or return to observe their behavior.

Paul Rodewald said a pair of Black Vultures seemed to be prospecting a barn
recently between Freeville & Cortland.
Last year the number of sightings over downtown Ithaca & lower S Hill, & near
Titus Flats/ Wegmans/ the Elmira Rd strip seemed like some affinity - maybe
nesting nearby? Or is it just that there are lots of potential observers, and
they are conspicuous so they get reported more here even though they travel
widely? Anyway it seems to be continuing. Is there a food source for them in
the neighborhood? Or did they nest here?
I wonder how many pairs we are dealing with, how many birds are local, and how
many of the birds seen recently have been migrating through.

Seems to me unlikely that many black vultures are nesting north of us.
We should see more incl juveniles in fall. Maybe I haven’t been on
top of the observations, but doesn’t match my memory. So migrating
through????
Where’s this barn? Near McLean or Lime Hollow?
I will say that I haven’t seen them overhead here just outside of
Freeville but I am completely capable of missing birds, even big black
ones I should be noticing. ðﾟﾘﾬ
